[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] film vs duplicates

[Richard Stein]

Carol and others with an interest in Rozyszcze parish,

I am familiar with both the St. Petersburg films and the series 23800xy 
films and can comment on the differences.

The St. Petersburg films cover the whole of Volhynia (parishes Zhitomir as 
early as 1836, Rozyszcze from its founding in 1862, and Heimtal from its 
founding in 1870) until the end of 1885.  There are missing years, 
especially in Zhitomir before 1860.  For Rozyszce which is of interest here, 
the years 1865, 1871, and 1884 are missing.  The St. Petersburg films have 
been indexed (Odessa site) and also scanned (LDS pilot site).

The 23800xy films are from the AGAD archive in Warsaw and cover only 
Rozyszcze parish from 1862 to 1895 (and to 1899 for births).  Possibly these 
are from the original parish register books.  Generally, the birth and death 
records of the St. Petersburg copy are the same as in the 23800xy films, 
with some errors as we have seen in Stefan's case.  However, the St. 
Petersburg marriage record is only an index with names of groom and bride 
and marriage date.  The 23800xy films give the full marriage record with 
ages, birthplaces, parents' names (or first spouse's name in the case of a 
widow or widower).  Finally, they contain the missing years of the St. 
Petersburg copy.

The 23800xy films also contain records from Wladimir-Wolynski parish from 
its founding in 1891.  Note also that the language changes to Russian 
Cyrillic starting in 1892 for both Rozsyzcze and Wladimir Wolynski.  There 
is also an index film 2380024 and a film of confirmations.

SGGEE has started a project to add data from the 23800xy films to its 
version of the St. Petersburg film index.  Announcements will be made as the 
data is added.
