==Historical Background==
Civil registration began in 1839, though only births and deaths.<ref>Thomas Jay Kemp, “International Vital Records Handbook, 7th Edition,” Genealogical Publishing Co, Inc. Baltimore : 2017.</ref>
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.
