Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Catherine the Great’s 1763 manifesto granted the freedom of religion and fostered the migration of Catholic, Lutheran, Hutterite and Mennonite colonists into the Russian Empire. Because civil records were not mandated in Russia until 1918, these various churches were primarily responsible for recording vital events. Churches typically recorded the ordinances of baptism, marriage and burial that are associated with birth, marriage and death. Many of these church records remain in Russian archives; however, there are some records available online or as published works. Understanding religious jurisdictions helps you understand what kind of records are available and where they ended up. Read on to discover information about Lutheran and Catholic religious jurisdictions. |
