So if you`re an Ottoman that would it be correct to say that you are a decendent of the founder Osman I?
Possibly ... or one of the men who was in his or his son's army.
No. The Ottoman Empire lasted many years and was centered in Turkey. A person was an Ottoman if he lived in the Turkish Empire before World War I.
