Howard Krushel already answered the main question in your posting.  I would 
just like to point out, for others who may read this, that these records 
reported in the newspaper as covering 1836 to 1879 are in fact simply the 
same St. Petersburg microfilms that we not only have access to via SGGEE, 
but which we have extracted and made available to the public on-line all 
the way through to 1885.

As with most newspaper articles, this one contained its share of 
exaggerations and did not investigate whether Mr. Wuschke was the sole 
proprietor of these materials or if they were readily available elsewhere 
as well.
