Composition of population by ethnicity, Constantza
Author: ARDELEANU KONSTANTIN
Available data is generally conflicting and unclear, also due to the manner in which such censuses were made, and to the fact that general totals rarely match the sums of all categories of population. In terms of these sources, they sometimes refer to citizenship and otherwise to ethnicity. Thus, the best source available, the official census for 1899, records citizenship, allowing no entries for categories such as the Jews or Armenians. In the category Turks (Ottomans) I have included the Turks and the Tartars, which in some statistics appear separate, whereas in others they are combined together.
