Historical Background
Ottoman population registers functioned in the role of civil registration from 1831 to 1913, when Macedonia became part of Serbia. Only males were counted before 1881, but everyone was counted thereafter. These registers noted sex, birth date, residence, age, religion, craft or occupation, marital status, marriage date, health, and military status.

Civil registration began in 1946.
