[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] St Petersburg records

[marlo]

Dick Stein,  You wrote in your message that SGGEE is currently indexing post 
1885 records for Rozyszcze parish.  When will they be available for us to 
see?  That is the area our ancestors are from and they did not leave until
1888 so I would really hope to find more information.  Probably several 
years?   Margaret
