Hello all, Some of you asked for the contacts for Saratov Archvies. Here it is: E-mail: regarc@mail.saratov.ru We, the Friends of the Volga Archives members collected the funds to donate to the archive to acquire Internet and e-mail facilities..... Re Engels Archvies: Found old announcements from March, <Archive is under great reconstruction Engels Archive now is in a stage of reconstruction, which will last no less than 1,5 years!!! In this connection Archive does not accept and fulfil genealogical requests. Please, take our deepest apologies.> Looks as if it will be 2 yrs or more now.... Jon: what did the Russian e-mail tell you ? So long Vera Beljakova-Miller
