Ten official revisions were conducted beginning in 1721 and ending in 1859. The original returns are bound in volumes that are sometimes three to four feet thick, making them very difficult to handle except on microfilm. Due to the difficulty in using metrical books, the revision list provides the most information for the least amount of effort. They are an excellent source for identifying family groups. These are enumerations for the purpose of assessing a poll tax and identifying those who were eligible for conscription into the military. On the following pages is listed: name note if blind, deaf, mute, or insane relationship to head of family and head of household age marital status social rank birthplace where registered residence note if person is absent at the time of the census native tongue literacy place of study or graduation main profession additional profession military status. The first page of each enumeration form notes state ( guberniia), county ( uezd), district ( volost), village, name of head of household, number of dwellings, number of souls found on day census was taken (divided by sex), number living there permanently, how many people are there who are not peasants, those who live there but are not official residents, and signature of person who compiled the form. Separate lists were made for each household. A second census was anticipated in 1914 but World War I intervened. The Ministry copy was eventually destroyed. Two copies were created, one kept locally and the other sent into the Ministry. It was undertaken by the Central Census Bureau, subordinate to the Central Statistical Committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Russian Empire. The only general census in Imperial Russia was conducted in the middle of winter, January 28, 1897, when the population was least mobile. Extant records can be found at the state archives. Identify location of birth as well as residence, leading to other research sources. They can be used to identify family groups and give extensive personal information. These enumerations were primarily taken for statistical purposes. Records are generally found in the state archives.Īll-Russian Empire Census These lists were compiled randomly on a local basis and not always preserved. In general, they identify about 30% of the population. Records exist generally 1860-1920 and contain the names of head of household, family members, ages other details vary. The records are not completely reliable because of efforts to evade taxation or conscription by avoiding correct enumeration. Family lists were also created by conscription offices that listed all male members of a family along with their parents. Since there was no universal mandate as in the case of the revisions to create these records, they occur randomly at different times for different places. The term, "supplemental revision lists" was used in some areas when referring to family lists. Due to the difficulty in using metrical books, the family lists provides the most information for the least amount of effort. Population enumerations were conducted after the revisions for the purpose of assessing a poll tax and identifying those for conscription into the military.
