-Research use: Value the same as a revision list.
-Record type: Population enumerations were conducted after the revisions for the purpose of assessing a poll tax and identifying those for conscription into the military.
-General: The term supplemental revision lists was used in some areas when referring to family lists. Extensive runs of these records exist for each place in Estonia. The local copy of the 1897 imperial census is interfiled with them.
-Time period: 1860-1920.
-Contents: Head of household, family members, ages; other details vary. (See the All-empire Russian census for a content description of the 1897 census).
-Location: State Historical Archive in Tartu.
-Population coverage: 90% coverage.
-Reliability: They are not completely reliable because of efforts to evade taxation or conscription by avoiding correct enumeration.<ref name="profile" />
