[Richard Stein]

Heinrich,

Gustav Richter was born in 1872 but baptised in 1874.  Go to the Zhitomir 
parish baptism records for 1874, it is Reg. #788 on page 550.

There are many similar cases where the year of birth and the year of baptism 
are not the same.  One way of finding such cases is to look up the name 
first in the St. Petersburg index to find the film number.   Then go to the 
film list on 
http://www.sggee.org/church_parishes/LutheransInVolhyniaKievPodoliato 
ascertain the year.
