Records exist generally 1860-1920 and contain the names of head of household, family members, ages; other details vary. In general, they identify about 30% of the population. These lists were compiled randomly on a local basis and not always preserved. Records are generally found in the state archives. | Records exist generally 1860-1920 and contain the names of head of household, family members, ages; other details vary.

The only general census in Imperial Russia was conducted in the middle of winter, January 28, 1897, when the population was least mobile. It was undertaken by the Central Census Bureau, subordinate to the Central Statistical Committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Russian Empire. Two copies were created, one kept locally and the other sent into the Ministry. The Ministry copy was eventually destroyed. A second census was anticipated in 1914 but World War I intervened. | The only general census in Imperial Russia was conducted in the middle of winter, January 28, 1897, when the population was least mobile.
