 === Metrical Books or Parish Registers (metriki)  ===
 Once you verify at least the region, and hopefully the exact town and parish , where your ancestors lived, you are ready to search church records, known as parish registers or metrical books (metriki). For instructions and links to records, you will now use the Wiki article '''[[Ukraine Church Records]]'''. The baptism, marriage, and burial records kept by churches are the major source of family information.
-=== Revision lists/family lists (revizskie skazski/posemeinye spiski)  ===
-The quickest way to identify families is revision lists, kept between 1719-1858 to support a national poll tax established by Peter I to change the basis of taxation from households to individuals. Encountering, opposition, it still took several years for the returns to come in. The 2nd revision (1743-1747) began after the ascension of Tsarina Elizabeth. The 4th revision, 1778-1787 was the first conducted by a local institution, the region fiscal chamber (''kazionnaia palata''). Revisions 5-10 were conducted during: (5) 1794-1808, (6) 1811-1812, (7) 1815-1825, (8) 1833-1835, (9) 1850-1852, (10) 1857-1859. The last three revisions noted familial changes between revisions. Separate vols. were kept for the different social classes: merchant (''kupchestvo''), urban citizen (''meshchane''), peasant (''krest'iane''), etc. Nobility, clergy, officialdom, army, and higher strata of the urban population were exempt–5 to 10% in the 19th century. Family lists and local census records 1860-1917, later equivalents of the revision lists, occur sparsely in archives.
