Probate records are the documents in which all kinds of wealth and belongings transferred to their heirs in case of death of persons, are recorded in terms of their type, quantity, and values. The fact that, their location, family information, property, debit, credit, and total wealth of deceased persons were included in the registers made these registers essential sources of administrative, social, economic, and cultural history research of the Ottoman Empire. The study which is prepared based on the data in probate registers of non-Muslim people in the Tanzimat Period in Diyarbakir was examined. Issues such as marriage types, marital status, locations, and relationship of their wealth to the number of children of Armenian, Assyrian, Chaldean and Greek communities who were residing in Diyarbakir during this period were discussed. As a result of the study, it was found that non-Muslims applied to the Sharia court at the point of sharing their estate, they mostly live in the city center, they do not have polygamy and they have an average of 4.78 children per family.
