* The term мещанин refers to the middle class, including tradespeople, the petty bourgeois, and general townspeople. It is listed at the top of this revision list to indicate that all the households below fell into that category as far as social status was concerned.
** The quotation marks used throughout this document are meant to mark blank spaces, rather than acting as ditto marks like they often do in English language documents. They do NOT indicate the repetition of the information above.
***Though a direct transliteration of this name would be "Gersh," it is likely that the Russianized version of this name was only spelled with a Г because there is no equivalent "h" sound in the Russian language (using "г" in the place of "h" when transliterating a name in Russian is standard practice). The original name was likely Hirsh.
****Notice that, even in the original record, the count for the males is off. It appears that the scribe counted households instead of people in this count, whereas the number of females recorded is accurate to the data recorded above.
