Dear Andy, Attached are two text files that contain the catalog information from the LDS Family History Library Card Catalog for information collected from Kars, Turkey (Russian Empire). The information was collected from churches in the Kars area that were tasked by the Tsar with political record keeping. The file Kars_2 is not real informative, since the index/inventory films were not in Russian and the Cataloger has not yet investigated the individual films. Our research has shown that these films contain a vast variety of documents and files, including Birth, Marriage, Death and Passport records. You can also access the complete Family History Library catalog on their new web site << http://www.familysearch.com >> Hope this will be helpful.
