The list below shows those Armenians in the town of Kayseri (Kesaria in Armenian) named in a small selection of French-language Ottoman trade directories – those for 1909, 1912 and 1913.

The original volumes list individual professionals and tradesmen collated by occupation for ease of use by readers at the time. However, the list below is arranged alphabetically by surname, using the Latin alphabet, for ease of use by genealogists.

Generally, the names are spelt in accordance with French orthographic standards in their transliteration from the original Armenian. Some surnames were spelt differently in different years (or differently by different members of a family, or by unrelated individuals sharing the same surname), and these differences are captured in the list.

Kayseri (Kesaria or Gesaria) and other Armenian settlements in its vicinty are shown on this Google Map.
