The greatest happiness is to know the source of unhappiness. - Dostoevsky
Lake Baikal
With an average depth of 730 meters (803 yards or 2,709 feet), the deepest portion reaches 1637 meters (1801 yards or 5,402 feet) making the volume of the lake more than all five Great Lakes in North America combined (Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, Ontario) and it holds almost one-fifth of the world's fresh water. Made up of a diverse plant and animal life (1550 species and varieties of animals and 1085 species of plant organisms that are known), and breathtaking views, it is truly an astonishingly beautiful part of the world.
We hope this list will continue to grow as more communities become represented on the World Wide Web so please be sure to let us know if you are aware of any other sites.

We receive lots of inquiries at F&P from those looking for their "roots" in Russia and, more broadly throughout the former Soviet Union. We now have a section devoted to genealogy, Find Your Roots: Genealogy which we invite you to visit. We are also starting a corresponding email listserver.
