The Reviska Skazka (Revision Lists) were conducted in territories ruled by the Russian Czar in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Revision Lists enumerated only those individuals subject to taxation. The data was also utilized for identifying men to draft into the army. There were 10 known major Reviska Skazka taken.
The Mormons (LDS) microfilmed Revision Lists for several districts now in Belarus at the State Historical Archives of Belarus in Minsk in 1995. These 126 microfilms can be ordered and viewed at any of the LDS Family History Centers, as well as at the Family History Library (FHL) in Salt Lake City. The LDS microfilm numbers are listed in the chart below.

The State Historical Archives of Belarus' inventories of their holdings of Revision Lists can be found on their website: In Russian, In English.
The language of the 1795 Revision List was in Polish for those areas "acquired" from Poland. At that time, most of the Jews did not have surnames, however, the head of household is listed with a patronymic (his father's given name), together with the residents of the household and their relationship to him. The 1806, 1811, 1816 and 1842 Revision Lists are in the Russian language.
The JewishGen Belarus Database currently contains over 18,000 records from various Revision Lists, as follows:

Pictured at the right is a sample illustration of a Revision List from 1795. Other illustrations are available by clicking on the links below.
Lists of surnames have been compiled for several of the Revision Lists from Belarus. The following surname lists can be found on the Belarus SIG Website:
In addition to the Revision Lists microfilmed by the LDS in Minsk, there are other Revision Lists for areas now in Belarus, available in various sources:
Vilna Gubernia: In the Lithuanian State Historical Archives (LVIA) in Vilnius, there are some Revision Lists from the four southern uyezds of Vilna Gubernia (Lida, Oshmiany, Vilieka, and Disna), which are now mostly in Belarus. According to the FHL Acquisition Department, these Revision Lists will not be microfilmed for many years. However, they are available to researchers at the LVIA in Vilnius. About 50,000 of these records have been translated by the Litvak SIG, and are searchable online via the JewishGen Belarus Databases as well as the JewishGen Lithuania Database. The JewishGen Belarus SIG's Vileika District research group is in the process of raising funds to acquire and translate the Revision Lists for this district.
Grodno Gubernia: Revision Lists and family and resident lists (as well as part of the 1897 Census for Grodno gubernia) are in the Grodno branch of the National Archives of Belarus. These also have not been microfilmed by the FHL.
Mogilev Gubernia: The National Historic Archive of Belarus (Minsk) has Revision Lists, family lists, and residents lists for Mogilev (and possibly Vitebsk) gubernia which have not been microfilmed by the Mormons. Members of the JewishGen Belarus SIG are compiling an inventory of these and other archival holdings of interest to Belarus researchers.
Anyone interested in working on the data extraction, translation, and/or data entry of Revision Lists for Belarus, please contact the JewishGen Belarus SIG's Research Coordinator.
