'''Parish Registers or Metrical Books (''metriki'')'''<br>The majority of these begin in the middle 18th century. Normally, two copies were made, one (a transcript) sent annually to a central ecclesiastical or civil office. The transcript is the copy most likely to have survived the civil disruptions of Russia's past. ''Metriki'' consist of forms filled out annually, filed, and then bound into books. Over time they were filed in any order imaginable. There are gaps in the years indicating that some materials were lost or misplaced. Quite often the records of churches in a district for a single year are bound in the same volume. | '''Parish Registers or Metrical Books (''metriki'')'''<br>The majority of these begin in the middle 18th century.

'''Revision Lists/Family Lists (''revizskiye skazaki/posemeinye spiski'')'''<br>Revision lists are of equal if not greater value than metriki. They identify family groups and residence. They are actually the best place to begin research. Revision lists were kept between 1719-1858 to support a national poll tax. | '''Revision Lists/Family Lists (''revizskiye skazaki/posemeinye spiski'')'''<br>Revision lists are of equal if not greater value than metriki.
