The TURK Guild of One-Name Studies Project would like to transform into the TURK Surname Society. We would like to invite those with an interest in TURK genealogy to become members of the board of directors. Interests may be based on ethnicity (e.g. Black or Jewish), national origin (e.g. Slovenija or Ireland), descent from a common ancestor, a specific surname variation, a particular region (e.g. the South or New York), or any other way of approaching the surname. It will be acceptable to have more than one director for a particular area of interest. Those willing to serve on the Board of Directors will receive a GEDCOM of all records contained in the database that align with a director's special interests. Directors will be invited to give guidance for the collection and presentation of data in the areas of their interests.
The census project has now completed extractions of all censuses for all states west of the Mississippi River for the TURK variation. East of the Mississippi extractions have been completed for all but three states for six variations. These are: TUERK, TURCK, TUREK, TURK, TURKE, TURKS. The three states remaining are New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. Extraction of New Jersey is currently underway. Partial extractions have also been done for the other two as well.
Presently the Guild database has approximately 90,000 records for nearly 51,000 individuals with this surname or one of its 474 identified variant spellings or those within at least one degree of relationship to the surname, i.e. spouse or children of a TURK - regardless of surname. The genealogical record is correlated with the TURK Y-DNA Surname Project. The sole purpose of the two efforts is to assist those interested in TURK genealogy in their personal research. Guiding principles are that records are collected for the surname without regard to ethnicity, national origin or religion. Customized searches are done for all interested researchers without charge. Corrections and additions to the database are always welcomed and solicited.
