==Revision and Family Lists==
Revision lists are enumerations of the taxable population (most Jews in the Russian empire fell into a taxable social class). There were ten revisions taken sporadically from 1772-1858. These records are a foundational source in genealogical research as they provide names, ages, and relationships.
 
Supplemental Lists, also known as Family Lists, can be found ranging from about 1860 through the end of the nineteenth century. They are similar in format to revision lists and are often grouped with revision list records in an archive.
 
====JewishGen (indexed records)====
Many revision list records have been indexed and are available through the '''[https://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Romania/ JewishGen Romania-Moldova Database.]''' To see translation/indexing projects in progress, see the '''[https://www.jewishgen.org/bessarabia/res_projectlist.asp Bessarabia SIG Project Search Form.]'''
 
==== FamilySearch (digital images) ====
There may also be records available through the [[Introduction to the FamilySearch Catalog|'''FamilySearch Catalog''']].

====Revision List Finding Aids====
If you are unable to locate records online, there are several  resources to help you determine what records are available for your town and which archive they are currently stored in.

==Additional Records - Finding Aids and Record Inventories==

====Miriam Weiner Routes to Roots Foundation====
The [https://www.rtrfoundation.org/index.shtml '''Routes to Roots'''] site contains articles, essays, maps, archivist insights, and an archival inventory for Jewish research in Moldova and other Eastern European countries. The website also contains a database of record inventories that is searchable by town. The search for documents in Eastern European ancestral towns is complicated, partly because of the destruction of documents during the Holocaust and changing borders and names. Only the first few letters of the town needs to be known, as all towns beginning with those letters will appear in the list. Some towns will even be cross-referenced with spelling variations or name changes. However, to determine the current spelling of a town, consult the [https://www.jewishgen.org/communities/loctown.asp '''JewishGen Gazetteer'''] or ''Where Once We Walked'' by Mokotoff and Sack. The database will note the types of documents that has survived for that town, including army lists, Jewish vital records, family lists, census records, voter and tax lists, immigration documents, Holocaust material, school records, occupational lists, and more. The span of years covered by these documents and where to find them will also be provided. Records in the archives can be accessed on various websites or databases (such as [https://www.jewishgen.org/ '''JewishGen''']) in person at the archives, by writing to the archives directly, or by hiring a professional researcher to do the work.<ref>Weiner, Miriam. "Eastern European Archival Database Planned". ''AVOTAYNU'' XVII no. 3 (Fall 2001): 3-5.</ref>

=== Miriam Weiner Routes to Roots Foundation  ===
Data regarding locations of Moldovan Jewish records originally published in books by Miriam Weiner is now on this website with periodic updates. Contains articles, essays, maps, archivist insights, and archival inventory for Jewish research in Moldova. The website also contains a database of documents that is searchable by town. The search for documents in Eastern Europe ancestral towns is complicated, partly because of the destruction of documents during the Holocaust and changing borders and names. Only the first few letters of the town needs to be known, as all towns beginning with those letters will appear in the list. Some towns will even be cross-referenced with spelling variations or name changes. However, to determine the current spelling of a town, consult ''Where Once We Walked'' by Mokotoff and Sack (Avotaynu, 1991). The database will note the types of documents that has survived for that town, including army lists, Jewish vital records, family lists, census records, voter and tax lists, immigration documents, Holocaust material, school records, occupational lists, and more. The span of years covered by these documents and where to find them will also be provided. Records in the archives can be accessed on various websites or databases (such as [https://www.jewishgen.org/ JewishGen]) in person at the archives, by writing to the archives directly, or by hiring a professional researcher to do the work. By consolidating data from five Eastern European countries, researchers can easily determine which records are kept by which archives or repositories.<ref>Weiner, Miriam.
