[http://www.sggee.org/research/StPeteBirth.html Society for German Genealogy in Eastern Europe] - This Society has taken the St. Petersburg Lutheran indices for Volhynia (today northwestern Ukraine regions) originally compiled by the Germans from Russia group referenced above and added new ones for Podolia and Kiev regions. They are also working at correcting errors in the original Volhynia index. They have also added new indices for Lutheran Parishes for Volhynia where the originals are held in Warsaw Archives rather than St. Petersburg. These regions were all part of Russia prior to WW I. The Volhynia portion alone of this index contains over 70,000 entries. That number does not include the additional records indexed as found in Warsaw Archives. A list of Lutheran Records for these regions along with relevant microfilm numbers can be found on the [http://www.sggee.org/research/parishes/church_parishes/LutheransInVolhyniaKievPodolia.html SGGEE website].<br> | *[http://www.odessa3.org/collections/stpete/ Germans from Russia Indexing] - In the 1990s, several Germans from Russia groups with dozens of volunteers indexed a large number of the St. Petersburg Lutheran records specifically applicable to Ukraine and Moldova regions of today. They can be browsed at this link. These indices contain numerous errors and should be used with caution. In spite of that, this is a valuable resource as it contains well over a hundred thousand b/m/d records.<br> | ||

The unique situation for Russian Poland also applies to the Lutheran records. The vast majority of Lutheran Church members were Germans who had migrated there during the Partitions of the late 1700s. The records were also in Polish Napoleonic paragraph format until 1867 and Russian Cyrillic after that. It is important to note that registration of b/m/d was a civil obligation. Therefore, prior to the establishment of a Lutheran Church Parish in a given region, Lutherans would register their events at the nearest Roman Catholic Parish. | The unique situation for Russian Poland also applies to the Lutheran records.
