There are some earlier revisions for portions of Livland that came under Russian rule at the beginning of the 18th century and were incorporated into Estonia. 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. <ref name="profile">The Family History Department of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, “Family History Record Profile: Estonia,” Word document, private files of the FamilySearch Content Strategy Team, 1994-2002.</ref><ref>Must, Aadu.

=== Communal Population Registers === | |||
Communal population registers started in 1867. These relate to revision lists (discussed above) but are somewhat more exact (birth dates being revised on the basis of church registers). These lists should be used together with communal passport registers and lists of outsiders. Passport registers include both a description of the person and show exactly the duration and place of a person's stay outside their native commune. Lists of outsiders contain names of persons registered somewhere else but actually living in the commune in question.<ref>Must, Aadu. "The Sources of Estonian Family History."
