Abstract
This paper examines certain features of Turkish Muslim family and household structures in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Drawing on a variety of historical, ethnographic, and demographic sources, largely in relation to rural society, it analyzes meanings attributed to the terms family and house hold in the past in Turkey, and then outlines the main features of the late Ot toman Turkish household formation system. Consideration is given to disparities between the rules of the system and their realization.
