'''Record type:''' The Ottoman Turks conducted extensive surveys of land and population for taxation purposes as early as the 1500s. These early surveys are of great value to demographers to estimate the size and character of the population in various regions of the Ottoman empire, but they contain no names and are not of significant genealogical value. After the Crimean war a cadastral (land) survey was conducted to reestablish the tax base of the empire. This and later surveys included names of head of households. This survey was conducted in 1858-1859 in the provinces (''sancaks'') of Bursa and Janina, then empire wide in 1860. | '''Record type:''' The Ottoman Turks conducted extensive surveys of land and population for taxation purposes as early as the 1500s.
