Background[edit | edit source]
Algeria has been ruled by both the Ottoman Empire (1516-1830) and the French (1830-1962) and gained its independence in 1962. Since its independence, Algeria has conducted censuses in 1966, 1977, 1987, and 2020--these records are likely stored at the National Archives. Censuses were also taken during both the Ottoman and French periods; French censuses can be found in the Department d'Oran book above, as well as through Geneanet.com. The French censuses provide some details about native Algerians, but mostly record information about European Algerians.[1] Ottoman census records for Algeria are likely held at either the National Archives of Algeria, or the Başbakanlık Osmanlı Arşivi (Ottoman Archives of the Prime Minister's Office) in Istanbul.
