Microfilm of manuscripts in the Central Historical Archive of the Armenian Republic, Erevan. Text in Russian. Catalog information from the LDS Family History Library Card Catalog for information collected from Kars, Turkey (Russian Empire). The first set was filmed on 62 microfilm reels by The Genealogical Society of Utah, 1994-1995. The information was collected from churches in the Kars area, that were tasked by the Tsar with political record keeping. Our research has shown that these films contain a vast variety of documents and files, including Birth, Marriage, Death and Passport records. As soon as any of you have seen these please send in a report. Go to the nearest Mormon Library. In California, check West LA and Oakland, and in Arizona I'll visit Mesa. ___________________________________________________________________________
