Those films can be requested thru any FamilyHistoryCentre [ FHC ] . Several places have permanent onsite copies of these films < for instance the FHC in Calgary > ; which of course is a boon to those researchers who can get to a place like that... < saves a truckload of time and money too ... > It should be noted immediately that these records are primarily for protestant GR. The reason being , that these records are <mostly> from the churchbooks ot the Lutherans. I see your family name KELLER, and i do know there there are a tonne of records in the St.Pete films for Keller; however, KELLER is of course also a name for Catholics. ... Best let us know what U are searching for, and perhaps someone can help U out... For arrivals onto the shores of North America there are of course other records... Did U post a "Roll Call"? I don't recall ... ;) Best of luck, Jay ----- Original Message ----- From: JOHN & JULEEN KELLER To: Jay on Allstream Sent: Monday, October 06, 2003 6:27 PM Subject: Re: [GERmanRUSsian] St. Petersburg Archives, What information is on the microfilm records I am new to searching for ancestors in Russia. I have read many e-mails and I am curious, where does one find the micro film for Germans from Russia? At this time I am limiting my research to our immigrant ancestor. I am searching for the correct names of his parents. I know when and where he was born and have what appears to be the names of his parents. They all came to the US about the same time but we can find no record of them. Thanks for your help.
