==Background==
===Types of Records===
* '''Tahrir''' - The Ottoman Turks conducted extensive surveys of land and population for tax purposes from 1835-1870.  Some of the early surveys listed only the number of household members with no names.
===Coverage and Compliance===
* '''Tahrir''' - These land and property records likely cover less than 10% of the total population.  Women and children are generally not listed and remote localities may not be surveyed.
