Summary/Abstract: In the hijri year of 1266 (1850/1851), a population census was carried out in the Bosna eyalet, including the villages in the area of the kaza (Qadiluk) of Gračanica. We are publishing parts of the census on this occasion. These parts are concerned with the Soko village near Gračanica, that is “kala-i-Soko” (Soko fortress), which was the official name of this settlement. The census included 97 houses, with a total number of 304 males living there (129 able-bodied, 115 minors, 53 elders and 7 soldiers). The census bring a lot of new data on the population that was unknown earlier, and as such is a valuable source for genealogical, ethnological and historical research.
