* Most civil records in Lebanon are created and preserved on the local level by mukhtars, village or district authorities. The Lebanese government maintains the names and contact information of all current mukhtars by locality. For more information see [[Lebanon Mukhtar Records]]. | |||
* Lebanon's Christian communities may maintain records of parish baptisms, marriages, and deaths. For more information see [[Lebanon Church Records]]. | |||
* Lebanon's other religious communities, including Sunni and Shi'a Muslims and Druze, may have limited genealogical records apart from official mukhtar records. See [[Lebanon Religious Records]] for more information. | |||
* Lebanon was a mandate administered by [[France Genealogy|France]] from 1923 to 1946. The [[French Genealogical Word List|French language]] continues to play an important role in the country and some records may be in French rather than [[Arabic Genealogical Word List|Arabic]]. | |||
* Until the end of World War I in 1918, Lebanon was a part of the [[Ottoman Empire Genealogy|Ottoman Empire]]. During this period the country was often considered part of Greater [[Syria Genealogy|Syria]], and many Lebanese immigrants before 1918 may be listed as Syrian or even Turkish in the records of their new countries. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Ottoman Empire conducted detailed censuses of its population. FamilySearch provides access to some of these digitized records. For more information see [[Palestine, Ottoman Census and Population Registers - FamilySearch Historical Records|Palestine, Ottoman Census and Population Registers]]. | |||
* For more information on the Lebanese diaspora, see [[Lebanon Diaspora]] and [[Lebanon Emigration and Immigration]]. | |||
* For more information about Lebanese tribes, including links to books detailing the histories and genealogies of certain tribes in the country and throughout the Arab world, see [[Lebanon Tribes and Clans]]. | |||
* See [[Lebanon Societies]] for organizations and communities focused on Lebanese genealogy. Connecting with these groups can provide insight into research questions. | |||
