Russia mandated the keeping of Roman Catholic registers in 1826. Three copies made, the third for the deanery - ''dekanat'', the level between the diocese and the parish. Aside from Russian Poland, there were five dioceses in 1900: Tiraspol (located in Saratov), Zhytomyr (Zhitomir), Mogilev, Vilnius (Vilno), Kaunus (Kovno). | Russia mandated the keeping of Roman Catholic registers in 1826.

The Russian Poland region is a unique situation within the old Russian Empire. After the defeat of Napoleon, the Polish regions governed by Russia were given semi-autonomy. They therefore continued to keep the records, with minor 1826 variations, in the old Napoleonic paragraph form. They were in the Polish language until 1867 when Russian Cyrillic was mandated by the government. More information can be found on the Poland resources pages. | The Russian Poland region is a unique situation within the old Russian Empire.
