As it is Galka and Mueller that I'm looking for. Can anyone tell me where I
could find death, birth, marriage records for these two places?
Would appreciate whatever help you can give.

>Below you will find a proposed list of books that the archives are
>planning on restoring. Saratov's list is complete, more details will be
>coming for the Engels list. What was surprising to me was the number of
>books that were listed for a single village.

>You will note the books that need restoration at Saratov do not include
>the censuses. I suspect that the census books, for the most part have
>been well maintained in the archives, and if they needed restoration, it
>has already happened. All the books listed for restoration appear to be
>some type of church book: births, marriage & deaths. These are probably
>part of the 700 church books that have been returned to the archives
>recently from the Russian government and perhaps were stored under less
>than optimal conditions. Also the books in need of restoration in
>Saratov are from later years, after the 1850s up to about 1919.
>
>Engel's preliminary list has a differently character than Saratov's.
>While I don't know specifically what type of books they are, there are
>many in the 1700's, such as 1764 - 1779, 1794. Some in the early 1800s,
>some around 1834. I suspect a few of these books are census records
>since they fall around the date of the censuses. The books extend into
>the 1900s with the last date being 1922.
