The first complete Tax Survey in Moravia was made between 1655 - 1657. It was called the '''Lansky rejstrik - Lahnregister''', later known as the '''First Lahn visitatio'''. In Bohemia the same tax survey was called Berni rolle - the Tax Roll. Between 1669 - 1679 a revision of the original survey because of inaccuracy and omissions had to be done. This revision is called the '''Second Lahn visitatio'''. This Lahnregister is the source of first importance for any genealogist, homeland historians, social and demography scholars.  
Cadastral surveys are also useful in researching past landholdings as old land records were destroyed when a property no longer existed, However written reports and cadastral maps of the former property are kept in document collection called a “shirka”. More recent land records are kept in local notary offices.
