- From 1920 to 1948, Palestine was administered as a British mandate.
- Until the end of World War I in 1918, Palestine was a part of the Ottoman Empire. During this period the country was divided into different administrative districts known as sanjaks and was sometimes considered a part of Greater Syria. For more information on Ottoman Palestine, see State of Palestine History. 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 and Palestine, Nablus, Population Registers.
- Millions of Palestinians today live outside of Palestine, due to conflict and seeking better opportunities abroad. For more information on the Palestinian diaspora, see State of Palestine Emigration and Immigration and State of Palestine Diaspora.
- For more information about Palestinian tribes, including links to books detailing the histories and genealogies of certain tribes in the country and throughout the Arab world, see State of Palestine Tribes and Clans.
