This historical artifact is a rare and unique document within the family collection. This document is a Certificate of Registry for Land in Beersheba Palestine. However, unlike the other Land registered Deeds this document is written in Ottoman Turkish rather than Arabic. This certificate contains Ottoman Stamps and includes some writing in Arabic. The writings in Arabic were sufficient to extract that the land registered in land in Beersheba however the name of ownership is not stated in Arabic, but it is more than likely that this is land dating back to Ottoman times demonstrating ownership by the Bseiso family. This ancient artifact reflects a date stating, “2 March 1324.”
