Historical Background[edit | edit source]
Civil registration began in 1839, though only births and deaths.[3] In 1907, the Ottoman Empire made a decree that expanded record keeping by penalizing those who did not comply. As a result, there is a greater microdata coverage after 1907, and sparse coverage prior to 1907.
