Emily – Nice find! These records look to be super useful if you’re able to a) find your family and b) translate. I’m wondering if these are some of the Austro-Hungarian Census records? Most of the original family information was discarded throughout the Empire; just statistical summaries remain. That is, except for Czernowitz. A few years ago, Edgar found the original census records in the Archives<https://hauster.blogspot.com/2015/01/a-journey-into-past-to-czernowitz.html> and tried to negotiate having them digitized and made available. But the price was too steep. Perhaps the Family History Library cut a deal? Or perhaps these revision lists are something entirely different? I don’t know.

The records cover quite few years. Emily Garber On May 29, 2023, at 2:05 PM, Emily H. Garber <[email protected]> wrote: I apologize if someone has already mentioned this in this forum. But I just noticed that as of December 2022, FamilySearch uploaded images of what they call "Revision Lists, Chernivtsi, 1876-1918." They appear to me to be residence lists from about 1901. The records are not indexed and there are quite a few files. Browsing through the first one listed, I noted several (likely) Jewish families (e.g., Max and Yetti Scherer; Yetti Rosenblatt).
