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.

==== Civil Registration (''akty grazhdanskovo sostoianiye'') ==== | ==== Civil Registration (''akty grazhdanskovo sostoianiye'') ==== | ||
Civil registration was instituted after the Revolution and established in the cities by 1919, then later in rural localities. Gaps in registration persisted until 1926. Civil registration offices - ZAGS - often have parish registers back to the beginning of the century to supplement the civil registration. These are normally the local copy of the parish register. Under Russian administration, these books are supposed to be transferred to regional archives after 75 years.

====1897 Census (''perepls 1897'')==== | |||
The 1897 census was the only universal census in tsarist Russia. The census tabulated information on name, age, sex, relationship, social class, occupation, religion, native tongue, literacy, birthplace, military status, and disabilities. A second copy was made and both copies were forwarded to the provincial census commission. One of these was kept by that commission and the other sent to the Central Census Bureau in St. Petersburg. The St. Petersburg copy is no longer extant but the local copy has survived in some district archives.
