*Revision Lists are taxation records that look similar to a census. | |||
*In 1718, Tsar Peter the Great Instituted a head tax, also known as the “soul” tax. In 1719, revision lists, or enumerations of the taxable population began. | |||
*There were ten revisions taken sporadically between 1719 and 1858. The dates of the ten revisions can be found below. Revisions could take years to complete. The Ten Revisions: | |||
**1st 1719-1724 | |||
**2nd 1743-1747 | |||
**3rd 1761-1767 | |||
**4th 1781-1782 | |||
**5th 1794-1795/1808 | |||
**6th 1811 (incomplete) | |||
**7th 1815-1818/1826 | |||
**8th 1833-1835 | |||
**9th 1850-1851 | |||
**10th 1857-1858/1859 | |||
*Revision lists are an important resource because they list household/family groupings complete with names, relationships, and ages. They can be used to track a family throughout time and estimate vital event dates. | |||
*Revision lists were primarily recorded in Russian and many have not yet been indexed. For help with reading a revision list, see: [https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/img_auth.php/2/2c/Russian_Revision_Lists_-_Instruction_E_Vance_2020-270229_Jan_2020_JMR_.pdf '''Reading Revision Lists.

These are enumerations for the purpose of assessing a poll tax and identifying those who were eligible for conscription into the military. They are an excellent source for identifying family groups. Due to the difficulty in using metrical books, the revision list provides the most information for the least amount of effort. The original returns are bound in volumes that are sometimes three to four feet thick, making them very difficult to handle except on microfilm. | These are enumerations for the purpose of assessing a poll tax and identifying those who were eligible for conscription into the military.

These records generally contain the following information: | |||
*Revision number of household | |||
*name | |||
*parentage | |||
The first three revisions are at the Central Archive of Ancient Acts in Moscow. Revisions four through ten are found in state archives. Sometimes a local copy of revisions 1-3 are found in state archives. At best approximately 75% of the population coverage (less for first two because female names were excluded). This record was not compiled for non-taxed classes: the nobility, high officials, clergy, military, and foreigners. Also, many people evaded enumeration which reduces the reliability of the record in identifying a high percentage of the population.cause of efforts to evade taxation or conscription by avoiding correct enumeration. | *age | ||
*gender | |||
*nationality | |||
*social rank | |||
*relationship to household head | |||
*information about those who left or died between revisions and date of death. | |||
*Females were not recorded in the first, second, and sixth revisions. The fourth and fifth revisions included information on the parentage of the females but this was dropped as of the sixth revision. | |||
*Sometimes the lists are accompanied by supporting documentation. | |||

One copy was kept in the county treasury (''uezdnoe kaznacheistvo'') and the other was sent to the provincial fiscal chamber (''gubernskaiia kazennaia palata''). Separate lists were kept for the different social classes such as merchants (''kupechestvo''), townspeople (''meshchane'') and peasants (''krestiane''). Revision lists (''skazski'') are filed and bound by districts and large cities. | |||
