NOTE;

Murat & Emine are registered in the same year of birth. they may have been twins.There are no records of them being twins. Perhaps one was born very early in the year while the other was born late the same year. The only other conclusion is that there may have been an error of a few months in registering their births which was very common in those days. All these are however speculative.

(2) Otoman census 1879, 165-a-3 page 329, Ref;  5761.

(3) Murat's death was followed by another child that was given the same name. The Murat that survived is not on the records of that period however. The conclusion is he was born just after the family was recorded on The Milli arşiv ve araştırma dairesinde 67 numarada kayıt.  1889,1890,1893,1897,1906 kayıtlar.  page 170, family No; 104
