'''Research use: '''With the exception of church registers and civil registration, land records are the single most important source for genealogical research. In most instances the land records provide exact family relationships. Land books identify individuals in connection with their residence. They enhance the use of church registers and can be used to bridge gaps and are often essential for linking generations. When persons with the same name need to be sorted out, this can be done by house numbers and house ownership. A study of the records of a specific piece of property can give the sequence of generations of the family surname, as ownership was usually passed from father to son. Where names change from generation to generation, land books are helpful in making proper family connections. | '''Research use: '''With the exception of church registers and civil registration, land records are the single most important source for genealogical research.

The last Cadastral survey was the Stable Cadastre, (1817–1851). An evaluation was done of each village for land taxation and a series of cadastral maps was created (Bohemia was mapped 1826-1843, Moravia was mapped 1824-1836). The final Imperial maps (Originální mapy stabilního katastru) were sent to Vienna when they were completed, but the indicative sketches or working copies (Indikační Skici) were kept and updated for a number of years. The official maps are helpful for plot numbers, but do not contain much detail. The indicative sketches are more valuable for genealogy, since they often list the names of the tenant farmers on the plots of land they were farming, along with house numbers and other details. | The last Cadastral survey was the Stable Cadastre, (1817–1851).

The ''berní rula'' was formulated during the reign of Ferdinand III of Habsburg (ruled 1637-57), that is, not long after the end of the Thirty Years' War. The ''berní ruly'' are lists of tax payers based on the records of the estate owners or nobility. First completed in 1653-1654, these tax lists were prepared to study inequities in the tax structure. Properties were surveyed to determine dwellings, fields, and animals of the taxpayers. Other surveys were made in 1683-84, 1746, 1757, and 1792. These lists can be of help in genealogical research by locating the domicile of one's ancestor, and are of value for demographic studies, but they cannot be considered as a complete survey of the population. These lists do not include the poor who were without property or trade. Also, only heads of households are listed without indication of dependents.

The ''berní ruly'' are available only for the the "Czech lands" of Czechia (or the province of Bohemia), and not for the province of Moravia and Austrian Silesia. All text is in the Czech language. Tax lists have been deposited in various archives but are not readily accessible to researchers. Some tax lists have been published: | ||
