Abstract

This study expounds the Greek-Orthodox millet community’s family formation in the Sanjak of Kayseri in the 1870’s from theaspects of especially extended family, polygamy, endogamy, average age of marriage, inheritance rights and ratio of children. Byrevealing heterogeneous tendencies among the Greek-Orthodox communities of different parts of the Ottoman imperial lands, it is partlygoing to be a comparative study. In the same way, while evaluating the Greek-Orthodox family structure, Kayseri’s other sedentarycommunities’ family formations –Muslim and Armenian one- will be also taken into consideration. Certainly we cannot talk about onetype of family structure, which was assumed as a model and implemented by the Greek-Orthodox inhabitants residing in different partsof the Ottoman domain. In different places, regional factors and local customs seem to play a crucial role in shaping the Greek-Orthodoxfamilies. Like everywhere else in Kayseri too, in addition to these, various socio-economic reasons gave shape to family formation.Comprehension of this subject therefore requires a short examination of such determinant elements. Briefly speaking, in reference toFrederic Le Play’s categorization, the 1870’s Kayseri’s Greek-Orthodox families –as well as Muslim and Armenian ones- were formed as“stem family”. In the meantime, from the perspective of inheritance rights, they can be defined as a “conjugal” family. Likewise,endogamy was also a common feature both in the Muslim and non-Muslim families. Apart from these, we can say that in the vicinity ofKayseri, females and males were prone to marry at early ages.
