So, near as I can tell after skimming through that 400ish page document is that the primary sources for the pre 1800 period are conjecture/extrapolations based on Ottoman household records from the period between 1525 and 1560-something (well, actually conjecture on top of conjecture since the author in question has not been able to study the original documents).
Okay....now we have something.
