Abstract

The Ottoman domination in Algeria, which lasted for about 300 years, ended with the occupation of France in 1830. One of the most important consequences of this occupation is that it started migration from Algeria to the Ottoman lands right after the invasion. In the first phase of the migration, which lasted for nearly a century, administrative, military, and civilian populations of Turkish origin migrated. Later local leaders, resistance leaders, and people who did not want to live under French rule. Captain and seaman have represented the presence of Turks and Ottoman domination in Algeria and North Africa. However, the volunteer soldiers and professional Turks from Anatolia were also vital. The continual shipment of volunteers from Anatolia to Algeria was usually from the piers in and around İzmir. Mostly Turks, who had to return because of the French occupation, were again sent to Izmir. There was a different shipping and settlement process for single soldiers and people backed by their families. In that article, Turkish-origin Algerian immigrants who returned to Izmir with their families were evaluated based on 1830 population records. It was the purpose to determine where the immigrants originally came from and from which profession they belonged, and their household structures. Expected this information will contribute to understanding the humanitarian and cultural relationship between Algeria and Anatolia.
