Every property-holder recorded in the survey belongs to a household. This is a notional category that does not necessarily correspond to the nuclear family. Every household has a head, who may or may not hold property, and includes all other property-holders in the household. You can use the "Filter results" button to set filters and narrow the results meeting specific criteria, such as the name of the householder, the total value of properties, the settlement, the Ottoman legal status, and more. By clicking on the name of the head of the household you can view the detailed web page with all the associated information (the names of the other members of the household, a map of the place of residence, the properties and their value, and more).
