Order of settlement Reported

According to Ali Yalçın’s 1984 notes, although no exact date can be given, it is “most likely” that the Ceneferler were the first to settle in the village after the Seljuk period. Then, in the Ottoman period, the Killiler of the Aşkar clan, the Başağalar, the Kamber Ağalar, the Osmanlar and the Kılıç Aliler were settled in the village in that order. The notes describe Mezirme as a very old settlement where peoples such as the Hittites and Urartians also lived. (Yalçın, Notes 1984, p. 1–3)

According to the notes of the 2022 genealogy, some Turkmen families arriving through internal migration also settled in the village after the Başağalar. From the fifth, and especially the sixth, generation of the Başağalar, the families began to intermarry, kinship ties multiplied and “a unity was formed”.
