Population registers of Livonia on 18th century

Hi,

For northern Livonia (i.e. what is now the south of Estonia, i.e. the historical Pärnumaa, Võrumaa, Tartumaa and Viljandimaa counties - see https://www.ra.ee/dgs/explorer.php?tid=5&iid=200250745461&t...) before 1782 you can try the Wacka-books that list the people living on estates from the Estonian archives. These will list the peasants living on the estates but not usually the owners and their families or estate managers and artisans living and working on the estate lands.

From 1782 on there are the soul revision lists, where the northern Livonian ones again are in the Estonian archives - https://www.ra.ee/dgs/explorer.php?tid=34&iid=200100001248&... . For southern Livonia, the revision lists are in the Latvian Archives - https://raduraksti.arhivi.lv/collections/1:5:23 .
