This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

The life of Kiyork Efendi began in Malatya in 1867/68 (AH 1284); the father's occupation was "Kâhta Kazası İdare Meclisi Azası". Work began in 1885/86, at about 18, on a first salary of 500 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1885/86, with Kiyork as Taadat-ı Ağnam Memuru (geçici) and no place named. For 1886 to 1888 and 1889 to 1892 the lists have no entry.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 500 kuruş a month in 1885/86, when 58 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1892/93.

Places in order of time

Each number is a stop: the birthplace, the place of first work, then every place of the annual entries in turn. The year beside an arrow is the first entry at the new place.
