 '''Transliteration:''' Many of these gazetteers use Russian, so you may find it helpful to transliterate the name of your town into Russian characters. Online sources above may help you determine the Russian name/spelling, but if not, use Stephen P. Morse's Russian Transliteration tool available [https://stevemorse.org/russian/eng2rus.html here].
-'''''Russisches Geographisches Namenbuch''','' or the '''''RGN''''', is an eleven-volume gazetteer compiled by Max Vasmer. The entries are alphabetically organized (using the Cyrillic alphabet, except for places in Congress Poland, which use the Latin alphabet). RGN entries are in German and typically provide the pre-1917 jurisdictions of gubernia (G.) and the uyezd (Kr.). The ''RGN'' only provides information regarding political jurisdictions and references to other sources and gazetteers used in the creation of the ''RGN.'' The ''Spiski Naselennykh Mest Rossiiskoi Imperii'' was used as a major primary source for much of the information found in the ''RGN.'' For detailed instructions on how to use the ''RGN,'' please see the [[Russia "How to" Guides|“RGN Gazetteer: How to Guide."]] The ''RGN'' is not available online. If you are unable to use the gazetteer at the Family History Library, consider using the ''Spiski'' gazetteer.

 '''''Spiski Naselennykh Mest Rossiiskoi Imperii,''''' or the '''''Spiski''''' gazetteer, is the most comprehensive gazetteer for the Russian Empire. Each volume consists of a gubernia or oblast of the empire. Therefore, in order to use this gazetteer effectively, it is necessary to know which gubernia your town was located in''.'' The ''RGN'' provides a volume and reference number that can be used as shortcut to quickly locate the entry in the ''Spiskii.'' If you do not have access to the ''RGN,'' use the alphabetical index at the back of the volume. Many ''Spiski'' volumes are available online and links are provided on the ''FamilySearch Wiki'' [[Russia Gazetteers|“Russia Gazetteers”]] page under the heading: '''Spiski Online Availability'''. For detailed instructions on how to use the ''Spiski,'' refer to this “[[Russia "How to" Guides|Spiski Gazetteer Online: How to Guide."]]

 ==Finding Place-Names in the FamilySearch Catalog==
-Place-names in the ''FamilySearch Catalog'' are listed under the provinces [guberniia] of the Russian Empire prior to 1917 (except the Ukraine where Soviet oblasts are used). Modern successor nations have a second, contemporary locality listing. To find the county and province that a town is filed under in the ''FamilySearch Catalog'', you can use the “see” references on the first Family History Library Locality Catalog microfiche for Russia (Empire). If you use the catalog on compact disc, use the “Locality Browse” Search. The computer will find places with that name.

-Because of the many changes in place-names, the Family History Library uses one gazetteer set as the standard guide for listing places in the ''FamilySearch Catalog''. Regardless of the names a place may have had at various times, all Russian Empire places (except Baku province) are listed in the ''FamilySearch Catalog'' by the name cited in:
