[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Exciting News!!! St. Pete Records now on line!

[Jerry Frank]

I can't believe that the Germans beat us to this announcement!  We knew from our convention that it was coming but I just found out about the reality of it from the German language Wolhynien Forum.  :-)   You can now view original copies of St. Petersburg records on line!

It is exciting also to see that these are the very first documents to appear in this regional category.  

Go to http://labs.familysearch.org/

Click on "Record Search" to see a world map.

Click on "Asia and Middle East"

Click on the link for "Russia Lutheran Church Book Duplicates 1833-1885"

The scroll window shows all the locations available on these St. Pete records.  Scroll down to the bottom and click on "Volyn"

Any one of the next 3 links will take you to the info you want.

You can of course continue to use our SGGEE extraction database to find the info but you can now additionally view the original document on line without going to your LDS Family History Library.  It appears that the on line images are not associated with original microfilm numbers.  You will therefore have to do your search for the record by the year and location of the event.
