I'm looking for the marriage record of Sophia Mikhailovna Klassovsky. She was born in Feb or Sept 1888, or Feb 1889, in what is now Tulchyn, Vinnytsia, Ukraine, and her 1st child was born in April 1909 in Vapniarka, Vinnytsia, Ukraine, so she would most likely have gotten married between 1904 and 1908. I have never been able to find any records for the family outside the US. (Sometimes I think Sophia herself didn't even know exactly when she was born. She had a sister named Nadejda, who married Alexander Olshevsky)

Her 1st child was a son, and was born in April 1909 in Vapniarka, Vinnytsia, Ukraine
Her 2nd child was a daughter, and was born in April 1911 in Zhmerynka, Vinnytsia, Ukraine.

The dates and places of birth for all 3 are from Sophia's US naturalization paperwork.

Before anyone contacts me, asking me to pay for them to look for the information, I'm on a fixed income, and can't afford to pay anyone to do so, so don't even bother asking.

Hello! As I understand from your posts, Klassovsky is Sophia's maiden name?
Was she Roman Catholic? Or was she Russian Orthodox?
Her mother's name. Petruna, I guess it should be Petronilla or Petronia, which is after a Roman Catholic saint.
Klassovsky is found amongst Polish szlachta from the Rola coat-of-arms. So may be Catholic.

Tulchin was a town in the Bratslav district (Брацлавский уезд), Podolia governorate (Подольская губерния).
Vapniarka, according to Wikipedia, was founded around the 1870s as a railway station.

Here's what I've managed to find:

[/q]

If by "indexed' you mean a reference list of names and subjects then hardly they have any for the church records.
The archives here in the post-Soviets will hardly really read through every church metrical book for the names))
But you can contact them via the email or you can ask here: https://forum.vgd.ru/1472/8426...iew&o=
Also in the top section of every archive thread there's a list of users planning to go to the archive soon
It goes after: 'В ближайшее время посетят этот архив:'
They may be of help
