 The records of the Russian church con tain the dates of all births, marriages and deaths among the people protesting that faith, and are complete from the year 1916 to the present time, or for the past 100 wears Many historic events are shown in the records, which consist of written books. Before recogd book Is started 1t IS punched, run through with heavy black silk cord, and sealed with the seal of the bishop of the church The pages are then counted and numbered, the bishop making an entry and signing the last page, which makes 1t impossible for anyone to tamper wEth the records ia any way.
 One of the first historical events of in terest Tn the records IS the account of the marriage of Governor IanofSky to Q h2i breed daughter of Governor Baranoh. \ an ofskv was at the time of the marriage q lieutenant in the Russian fleet stationed at Sitka The marriage was on January /. l3lS The record gives the account of the wedding & follows:
