Russia Periodicals

A periodical is a magazine, newsletter, or journal that is published regularly. Many societies and organizations in Russia and the United States publish genealogical periodicals. Much of their content, in English or Russian, is devoted to compiled genealogies of native families and extracts from census, church, probate, and other records described in this outline.
