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.
