Revision lists are enumerations of the taxable population (most Jews in the Russian Empire fell into a taxable social class). There were ten revisions taken sporadically from 1772-1858. These records are a foundational source in genealogical research as they provide names, ages, and relationships. | Revision lists are enumerations of the taxable population (most Jews in the Russian Empire fell into a taxable social class).

The first revision list to include Belarus was the 4th revision in 1781.<ref>The Imperial Russian Revision Lists of the 18th and 19th Century (byu.edu)</ref> | ||
Supplemental Lists, also known as Family Lists, can be found ranging from about 1860 through the end of the nineteenth century. They are similar in format to revision lists and are often grouped with revision list records in an archive. | Supplemental Lists, also known as Family Lists, can be found ranging from about 1860 through the end of the nineteenth century.

Many older revision lists, like those pre-19th century, are not very well preserved. For example, the 1795 revision list for the Jews of Minsk is not in good condition, and is not accessible to researchers at the National Archives. Level of preservation varies between areas and is highly dependent on the conditions they were kept in. | |||
