The Main TURK Database
Sources - The rounded numbers of extracted records have come from the following sources:
Ancestral File - 1,000
cemetery - 1,000
census - 25,000
IGI - 15,000
publications - 13,000
researchers - 20,000
SSDI - 6,000
vital records - 5,000
websites - 4,000
TOTAL - 90,000
When comparing the integrated TURK Guild database with other surname non-integrated databases the comparable figure is 90,000. However, considering the greater complexity of integrating a database, the value of such a database to the individual researcher is significantly greater than the simple aggregate of records.  Great job Toni Turk!
