This is the transcribed information from the 1854 and 1865 Revision Lists for a family from Shpola (Ukraine). I have three questions that I am hoping someone can help me answer as I cannot translate the text.

1. The father (Head of Household) is named Avrum in one and Avrum Itsko in the other. I am fairly certain he has a brother named Itsko in Korsun. Would this be unlikely given the name Avrum Itsko?

2. Avrum Bir and is son Yankel are described as "Non-relative" in 1854 and "Relative" in 1865. Is there any further clarification in the image? Are they related?

3. Gershun (son of Avrum Itsko in the 1865 List) has no age listed in the transcription. It seems that the image says he was 1 year old in 1861 and there is a note on the right side of the page about him. Can someone please translate?

Thank you so much.

Greg

1.Аврум Ицоко (1865 г.) , Аврум Ицько (1854 г.)
2. Янкель сын Аврума бер (бира) и в 1854 и в 1865 году.
3. Гершун умер в 1860 году.
Чтобы разобраться в родственных связях сначала надо уточнить, что фамилия не Пустивник, а ПУСТИЛНИК, а также: ПОСТИЛНИК.
Под фамилией Постилник в ревизии 1843 года указан Апрум Бир Герш 45 лет – он там указан «в бегах».
Также есть ревизии 1834 года и другие года- там всё разъясняется. Правда есть неточности. Могу потом перевести поподробнее ревизию 1834 года. (Постильник , Шпола).
=========================================
1. Avrum Itzoko (1865), Avrum Itsko (1854)
2. Yankel son of Avrum ber (bir) both in 1854 and in 1865.
3. Gershun died in 1860.

To understand the family ties, first, it is necessary to clarify that the surname is not Pustivnik, but PUSTILNIK, and also: POSTILNIK .
Under the name of Postilnik, the 1843 revision lists Aprum Bir Gersh, 45 years old, as being "on the run."
There are also revisions from 1834 and other years, which provide further clarification.
However, there are some inaccuracies. I can provide a more detailed translation of the 1834 revision later. (Postilnik, Shpola).
