I just received this letter from the Rivne Archives in response to my request for information about my grandfather and g-grandfather.

Because of the brevity of the response I'm not too hopeful it contains any information I am seeking, but would appreciate a word by word translation. It is probably written in Ukrainian, although it could be Russian.

Thanks in advance.

2/27/2011 7:48 PM Yes, it's Ukrainian, not Russian. There's a negative response to your query alright but it's possible that the last para is referring you to another possible source of information (another archive)
2/28/2011 2:12 AM The letter is in Ukrainian which I do not read as comfortably as Russian, but in principle it says that they could not find anything. Possibly it says that they have a collection of documents of those who emigrated before 1879. It is signed by the Director of the Archive in Rivne.

2/28/2011 12:27 PM Archive informs you that they did not receive metric books for Jewish population of town of Ostrog for a given time frame, so they cannot perform a serach for you. They also would like to inform you that Archive did not find any documents about emigration of your families to Hungary in 1879.
