[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] St.pete files

Jerry, 



The person you are referring to is Robert Frederking who lives in Ottawa. He made the St Petersburg trip prior to joining the Don Miller group in May of 2004. The phone number I have is (406) 755-5831. I think he is still a SGGEE member.

The records are indeed at that archive.  However, the archive was closed about 10 or more years ago for renovations.  It was slated to reopen in 8 years but to date, I have seen no evidence of that.  If you GOOGLE that archive, the first link that comes up takes you to a citation that was made way back in 1994. 

Having said that, there was a gentleman at one of our conventions some 3 or 4 years ago who claimed to have visited there in person and obtained info from the St. Petersburg Consistory fonds.  However, I do not recall his name nor did he provide us with any details of his accomplishment.  I am unsure of the veracity of his claim.
