[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Volhynian village - Slabutkaj ?

[Bill Fife]

Dale,

 I can search the St. Pete records by film number and/or page number.  If you
have a simple question I may be able to help. Births, deaths and marriages
have to be searched separately.

  Gary already answered the part about the SGGEE version.

  I have used a form of your "sneaky route that worked but it will take
  time.  I manually did a browser search for 3 page numbers - the one for the
  entry in question, and the ones immediately before and after.  I noted the
  sequence number and associated village for all those.  You can then figure
  out the order and solve the problem.  You will run into trouble however if
  you have to find, for example, page #188 on film #1881234 cause it will
  stop at every occurrence of "188".   If the sequence number is high - i.e.
  1123 - you could search for before and after numbers.  However, this
  doesn't work well with lower numbers as you would get too many irrelevant
hits.

  An ideal solution would be the ability to download the file into a
  spreadsheet where you could manipulate and sort the data in many ways.  To
  date I have not figured out a way to do that.  The best I have come up with
  is downloading to a word processor using 11 x 14 paper in landscape mode,
  Courier New font type, and 10 point font size.  All the columns will line
  up nicely if you do that.
