I would assume Polockaja is Russian and may have been chang-
ed to a Estonian name, now in Tallinn(a/o 1918). Ostrov is
55 km southof Pskov(German-Pleskau going back to middleages)
and was/is a big russian military base-town and I believe the Germans occupied this area in their seige of Leningrad/
St. Petersburg during WW II. The Pskov Oblast is just east of the Estonia/Estland/Ostland & Latvian borders. Pskov has
some Evang./Lutheran films in LDS/Mormon databases; 5 in
"Kirikuraamatud, 1869-1940" site; and, 47 films in "Metrical
books, 1833-1885". Check the Family Search LDS site, type in
"Pskov". I typed in "Ostrov" which kicked out all Russian /
Cyryllic, probably Orthodox church records and probably NOT
of interest to you(German Luth.?).. Also, many Evangelical/
Lutheran records were moved to the Lutheran Archive/Museum
in Berlin-Check their site on the Net!!! "Gut Viehl !!!"
