This census from Smela, Cherkasy district took place on November 28, 1850.
There were 723 males and 751 females recorded. It was signed by authors Leiba Pleskachevskiy, Berko Pavlotskiy, Moshka Yeruselimskiy, Tovia Vernik, also during compiling of the census there was a state rabbi of Smela, Avrum Ber Spek[er].
Smela is referred as Smela big community.
Notes: In this list people who left are often referred to as "removed from [record of] community members by a document given to him". Thus it is not clear whether they left on their own or were removed from community. Additionally whenever individuals especially those out of town, are said to become Cherkasy merchants or bourgeois, this might indicate relocation within the class but not necessary leaving Smela.
Numbers indicate how many households shared the same family name.
