- Many areas of historical Palestine have been within Israel since 1948. For Jewish research in the region and information on Arab areas of Israel post 1948, please see Israel Genealogy.
- 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.
- Due to decades of conflict in the region, millions of Palestinians live outside of Palestine. For more information on the Palestinian diaspora, see State of Palestine Emigration and Immigration.
