Many Armenian church records are now held by the Armenian Apostolic Patriarchate in Istanbul, the Armenian Catholic Archbishopric in Istanbul, the Greek State Historical Archives, Athens; some are possibly in Turkish provincial archives. Likely locations for Roman Catholic record include the Office of the Apostolic Pronuncio in Ankara, the Office of the Apostolic Vicar for the Latins in Istanbul, and the Curia of the Bishop of İzmir; some records may be under the jurisdiction of the priests of any still-existing parishes. The Family History Library has microfilmed about 5% of Turkey's church records. These include Greek Orthodox records filmed in Athens as well as Armenian records for the area in and around Istanbul. | Many Armenian church records are now held by the Armenian Apostolic Patriarchate in Istanbul, the Armenian Catholic Archbishopric in Istanbul, the Greek State Historical Archives, Athens; some are possibly in Turkish provincial archives.
