[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] baptists and lutherans

[Nelson Itterman]

HELLO  ALL:
I'm not sure who told me, whether it was David or someone else. All Baptist
Churches sent Copies of their records to Odessa, but have never been found.
Can anyone confirm that?
Nelson

Of course the Baptists recorded deaths and marriages. The problem is that no
Baptist records have yet been found. All we have are civil registration
documents, which started in the early 1920s.
