-* From 1920 to 1948, Israel was administered as part of the [[Great Britain Genealogy|British]] mandate.
-* Until the end of World War I in 1918, Israel was a part of the [[Ottoman Empire Genealogy|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 Genealogy|Syria]]. For more information on Ottoman Palestine, see [[Israel History]] and [[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 - FamilySearch Historical Records|Palestine, Ottoman Census and Population Registers]] and [[Palestine, Nablus, Population Registers - FamilySearch Historical Records|Palestine, Nablus, Population Registers]].
-* For more information about tribes and clans which have historically inhabited the area of Israel and the surrounding Levant region, see [[Israel Tribes and Clans]]. This page includes links to books that detail the histories and genealogies of certain tribes who have inhabited the region of Israel, as well as throughout the Arab world.

+* From 1920 to 1948, Israel was administered as part of the [[Great Britain Genealogy|British]] mandate and was called Palestine.
+* The State of Israel was created on May 14, 1948. As a result of the creation of the state of Israel, significant changes occurred leading to the establishment of new towns and the renaming of existing ones. This transformation also impacted genealogical records, as many documents were relocated or reclassified, making it essential for genealogists to consider both pre- and post-1948 records when tracing family histories.
+* See also [[Israel History]].
+==== Where to Find Records ====
+* [[Palestine, Ottoman Census and Population Registers - FamilySearch Historical Records|Palestine, Ottoman Census and Population Registers]] and [[Palestine, Nablus, Population Registers - FamilySearch Historical Records|Palestine, Nablus, Population Registers]] - FamilySearch has digitized some of the census records from Ottoman Palestine.
+* [[Israel Cemeteries|Cemeteries]] - Nearly all cemetery memorials in Israel have been digitized and can be searched in online databases, particularly Jewish memorials.
+* [[Israel Tribes and Clans]] - Online books about tribes in Israel and the surrounding areas, including family histories and genealogies.
+==== Connect with Societies ====
+* [[Israel Societies]] - Organizations and societies focused on genealogical research relevant to Israel, Ottoman Palestine, and the Levant. Connecting with societies and genealogy research groups can be extremely helpful for asking questions, exchanging ideas, and learning new strategies.
