"For a country whose population is a rich mix of different ethnicities, paid genealogy services in Turkey oddly failed to catch up with the rest of the world. Nevertheless, a new e-governance service launched earlier this month changed this.


Within days of the launch, millions flocked to www.turkiye.gov.tr to find out who their ancestors were as the government made the genealogy archives online. It was previously available only to those personally applying to a civic registrar's office. The new service cut the red tape and enabled the public to trace their lineage with just a few clicks.
The Turkish government put their genealogy archives online. It is known as the [www.turkiye.gov.tr Lineal Kinship Inquiry]. The information mostly comes from civil registers the Ottoman Empire kept up to the 19th century.


The "Lineal Kinship Inquiry" service as it is officially titled, offers information about one's ancestors, up to the 19th century. '''Signed up with their national ID numbers and a free password''' provided by the citizenship services, users can learn a lot of details about their ancestors, from names and last names, dates of birth and death as well as the town, village or city of origin as well as marital status. As the preservation of civic registers has been a well-maintained practice only in later centuries of the Ottoman Empire, many can trace their ancestors only to early 19th century.
Details about ancestors include  names, dates of birth and death, the town, village or city of origin, marital status.<ref>''"Who are you again: Turks go crazy over genealogy service".''
