The Palestinian Census estimates 85-90% coverage. It includes only Palestinians in Palestinian Territories, and does not include foreigners in Palestine, or Palestinians who hold Israeli citizenship.
- 1922 and 1931: British censuses
- 1952: Jordan census which included three districts - Hebron, Nablus, and Jerusalem.
- 1967: Israeli Census consists of name of family/clan, first name, name of parents, name of grandfather, address, passport/identification number, gener, marital status, members of household, numbers of people exiled.
Ottoman Nüfus Census Records (سجلات النفوس العثمانية)
These records are in Ottoman Turkish (Turkish in Arabic script) except for seven books of the Ashkenazi community in Jerusalem, which are in Hebrew. The collection consists of 7 types of registers: preliminary registers; basic registers; early population registers; registers of births, marriages, divorces and changes of address; registers of men of military age; registers of foreigners; and Mukhtars' registers. Registers are arranged into 10 districts, each including cities (divided into neighborhoods) and villages in present day Palestine, Israel, and parts of Jordan and Egypt. Registration within each locality is according to religious affiliation. The collection also includes a catalog in English, created by the Israel State Archives (the current owners of the archives), which includes general background information about the registers, a locality index and detailed descriptions of the contents of each register.
