What is the difference between a revision list and a family list?
There is very little difference except for the name the particular list is called. Up to, and including 1858, the census was called a revision list. On a revision list, a family may have always lived in Kaunas but yet they were officially registered in Kelme. Thus, they would be listed on the Kelme revision list and not on the Kaunas revision list. After 1858, it was called a family list. A family list usually contained more information than a revision list. The first record actually called a census was the 1897 Census of the Russian Empire. It included all families living in the town regardless of where they were registered. It also included the address where they lived, where they were registered, where they were born, and their occupation.
