Civil registration was instituted after the Revolution and established in the cities by 1919, then later in rural localities. Gaps in registration persisted until 1926. Civil registration offices - ZAGS - often have parish registers back to the beginning of the century to supplement the civil registration. These are normally the local copy of the parish register. Under Russian administration, these books are supposed to be transferred to regional archives after 75 years.
