IMPORTANT NOTES:

  1. Metrical Books (Rabbinates, Vital Records) are about birth, marriage, divorce and death. In the death record, as a rule, appears age. But in the Metrical Books of Podolskaya Gubernia and Kiev city, the age also appears in the marriage records, so be careful.
  2. In the birth records, as a rule, in the notes column the name of the child is indicated, and in the main line the name of his father.
  3. In the marriage records, as well as in the divorce records, the name of the bride and groom and the place of their registration appear.
  4. Actually, you need a place of registration in order to then search for censuses of the relevant locality.
  5. In a Census Tales (Revision Lists), as a rule, all family members are indicated.
    But in the Army Census 1875 there is no female part of the family, but the previous place of registration is indicated in it.
  6. The Russian Empire Population Census 1897 indicates the place of birth of a person, all members of his family, including servants, and his occupation.
