-Those who officially changed their place of residence were registered in resettlement transcripts. Some of these documents are housed in the Historical Archives of Latvia. Resettlement records list the names of all peasants and their family members who proceeded to a different social layer (as a worker, tradesman, literary man, etc.) or to live in another province. The acquisition of education (with a diploma of a land surveyor, chemist, etc.), entering civil service, or becoming a townsman liberated a person from the class peasantry.<ref>Must, Aadu.

+Due to restricted liberty to move, the temporary staying away from home was precisely listed in passport registers and permanent resettlement was precisely listed in resettlement transcripts (''Umschreibungsliste''). Resettlement transcripts recorded those who officially changed their place of residence, got more education, or socially advanced. For peasants, this meant becoming liberated from the peasantry class by becoming workers, tradesmen, literary men, or other such professions. Additionally, the acquisition of education (with a diploma of a land surveyor, chemist, etc.), entering civil service, or becoming a townsman liberated a peasant from that class. Some resettlement transcripts are housed in the Historical Archives of Latvia. <ref>Must, Aadu. "The Sources of Estonian Family History." In ''Eestlaste perekonnaloo allikad''.
