Just to add: registration in most cases happened during revisions or similar ocasions. What means - not often. Sagnificans of "NN meshchanin" or something like this in documents for official use was not only to show where the person was born, but specify his/her rights that depended in Russia on social status, gender, age, religious affiliation, occupation, registered residence, relation to military service, etc. Jews >from different Gubernia with all other social characteristic the same could have different rights.
