What is a revision list (reviski skaski)?
It is a census. It differs from censuses recorded in the West in that the previous revision list was revised, or updated, until the next census was recorded. For example, the 1883 revision list for Linkuva includes the names and ages of children born between 1883 and 1897 when the next census for Linkuva was recorded. It may also note what happened to people registered on the list since the last census, or where they previously lived, so the information provided may cover a period of more than ten years.
