Thank you all for your help. The Relief Society is important to me as I hope it could have some background or other personal type information to help track down the maternal side of the family. So far 1) I have not found what happened to the society and 2) what might actually be in their records. Might they have marriage license, birth certificates, names and contacts of relatives that stayed behind in Russia? Or might it just be their name, local address and how much money they 'borrowed.' Almost like naturalization papers which basically only provided age, hair color and nationality :-(
Tracking down great aunts and uncles is hard enough, getting to the cousins even more so and then doing it without names, ugh! I'm beginning to feel women should always keep their maiden name ;-)
