The depository of revision of the taxable population is housed in the Estonian Historical Archives in Tartu. Gaps in these revisions can be filled by the records of revisions from manors, church congregations, communal governments, and municipal authorities. | The depository of revision of the taxable population is housed in the Estonian Historical Archives in Tartu.

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> | 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.

Those who officially changed their place of residence were registered in resettlement transcripts. Some of these documents are housed in the Historical Archives of Latvia. Resettlement records list the names of all peasants and their family members who proceeded to a different social layer (as a worker, tradesman, literary man, etc.) or to live in another province. The acquisition of education (with a diploma of a land surveyor, chemist, etc.), entering civil service, or becoming a townsman liberated a person from the class peasantry. | |||
