 The 1775 and the 1798 revisions were made in order to determine tax and debt status of the colonists and their families. They typically include names of colonists by family and the individual family member's name, sex, and age. The census records are very useful in not only tracing genealogical lines, but also in tracing the movement of the colonists from one colony to another. Refer to the Volga Census Index for a listing of surnames included in each Census Report with an asterisk*. Remember, there was much movement between villages, so be sure to check all villages for your surname. These census lists may be purchased through the online store or by contacting AHSGR. All pricing for manual or electronic orders can be found on the store pages.
