Volga Census Records

1775, 1798, 1811, 1834, 1850 and 1858 Census

Translation, transliteration, and editing of the eighteenth-century documents (which were obtained from the Russian Archives in St. Petersburg) provided many linguistic and historical challenges.  Keep in mind that these documents were hand written.  While they are often inconsistent, they are still the best records available of the lives of households, which are not based upon documentary sources such as church registers of births, deaths, and marriages.

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.
