We have avoided cluttering the tabulated data with sources and references to minimize viewers distractions. The sources and the reference materials of our website are as the following:-

Our references in order of primary sources concerning occupation date, Israeli military operation, Israeli attacking Brigade, Population ethnically cleansing, and Israeli settlements on town lands are from The birth of the Palestinian refugee problem, 1947-1949 by Benny Morris (see Map 2 and Map #3), Atlas of Palestine (now can be bought via the site), The history of the Haganah, The history of the war of independence (both in Arabic translation from the Institute for Palestine Studies), Palestine Encyclopedia, Biladuna Filisteen by Mustafa Murad al-Dabagh, the great book al-Nakba by 'Aref al-'Aref, and last but not least All That Remains by Prof. Walid al-Khalidi.
Our references in order of primary sources concerning elevation from the sea, distance from district center, land ownership, population, and number of houses are Biladuna Filisteen by Mustafa Murad al-Dabagh, Atlas of Palestine, Palestine Encyclopedia, World Gazetteer, and PNA's Central Bureau of statistics.
All Land Statistics such as land ownerships (for Palestinians and Jews), citrus, olive, cultivable, and cereal land areas were all extracted from Village Statistics of 1945. Since book is extremely important (which was published by the Government of Palestine for the Anglo-American Commission of Inquiry in 1946), we decide to make available for the general public. We also made available a soft copy of this book (plus 20 other important statistics about the Palestinians Villages) into one spreadsheet, click here for more details. This spreadsheet is a must read for all researchers and concerned parties in this field.
Village and Local Councils where extracted from A Survey of Palestine. Since this book was used extensively by the UN when it drafted the proposed Partition Plan, we thought it is critical to share a copy of this important book with the general public, click here for details.
Usurped lands that lay within the armistices line (mostly for W. Bank towns) have been extract from Atlas of Palestine.
Usurped lands for Palestinian towns within Israel (for years until 1962 & 1972) were extract from from documents compiled from Badil Center based on research done by Sabri Jiryis in "The Arabs in Israel" (1976) and Bakri Abu Kishik in "Arab Lands and the Israeli Politics". Click here to download both tables.
Acts of terror, level of destruction, est. of number refugees in 1998 was extracted from Atlas of Palestine by Dr. Salman Abu Sitta (now can be sold via the site) and All That Remains by Dr. Walid Khalidi.
Olive areas have been extracted from Biladuna Filisteen by Mustafa Murad al-Dabagh.
Our primary references concerning population in 1596 and in 19th century are based on the Ottomans tax record directly quoted from All That Remains by Dr. Walid Khalidi.
Our primary references concerning archeological sites, brief village remains, religious institutions, and up to date field research about the status of each village plus confirming Israeli settlements on each village lands are based on All That Remains by Dr. Walid Khalidi, The Return Journey By Dr. Salman Abu Sitta (now can be bought via the site), and Biladuna Filisteen by Mustafa Murad al-Dabagh.
Our primary source regarding the Shrines/Maqams are All That Remains & The Return Journey, and by no means our research is complete. We are in the process of updating our data based from the Return Journey which has the most complete listing for all shrines and other religious sites.

Yousef Haddad wrote an ethnography of al-Bassa in Arabic, and I would be most grateful if anyone who knows about an English translation (whether published or unpublished) would let me know about it.
Many thanks,

It is interesting that regarding Qaesarea, you write that the Bosnians who settled there "In 1878, Muslim Bosnians settled in Qisarya after the Austrian invasion of their country." When, if you examine history, it was the Ottomans who invaded, ceded territories and settled such as Bosnia, Macedonia - all the way to Vienna. It was only after the Battle of Vienna that the Austrians, allied and supported by several other European nations, moved the Ottoman Turks east. If the Ottomans invaded European territories, and were repulsed, after years of victories, how was it that the Austrians 'invaded these reclaimed lands?
