Hello Anna,

have you documents from this time in Armavir? Are you know the confession of your ancestors? You are need this informations for some requests.

The Lutheran parishes (for example) in the region of North Caucasus were a part of the Consistory from Lutheran parishes in Russia with headquarters in St.Petersburg. About the origin church books from Armavir I dont have informations, but some of the copies from different regions (for example Volhynia up to 1885) are known in the Russian State Historical Archives in St.Petersburg. You can try to ask here:

Adress: RGIA, 190000, St.Petersburg, Angliiskaja nab. 4
Email: support@rusarchives.ru

Please note: http://rgia.narod.ru/maineng.htm

If you are unshure with your correct datas or with your English knowledges, try to contact a person in your environment. Requests to archives and long searches can be very expensive - the money transfers to Russia are hard and expensive too.
