I tried to email these people, who offer a most
interesting opportunity, with excellent databases as
Adam K. recently stated.

But the email was returned.

On their site there is also an option to contact them under the heading
"Consultation". Just fill in the form and send it away to Green Castle and
lets hope they will answer you. I have just filled in two forms and sent
away. As it doesn't seem like any Belarus SIG members have used the services
of Green Castle, I will have to try to find out about it myself. Anyway,
their so called "Databases" are filled with interesting information on Jews
living in the Vitebsk guberniya, so they can't be that bad!

Adam,
I checked the Green Castle website based on your prior posting. I found
the consultation heading and submited my USVYATSKY information with guberniya
(Mogilev) and uyzed (Goretsk/Gorky). I got a very nice e-mail back within a
few days >from an Alex Marko stating that documents "interesting to me" could
be found in the National historical archive in Minsk, and the listed the
address (str. Krapotkina, 55 Minsk 220002). Alex then stated their agency
could also carry out research for me but would need the exact name of the
city or village. Rates were not discussed. I wrote back to decline the
offer since at this point I don't know the exact city/town. But I sure would
be interested to know what happens if someone pursues this further.

Sincerely,
