Life and register readings

Mustafa Faik Efendi was born in Komotini (Gümülcine) in 1873/74 (AH 1290); the father's occupation was "Gümülcine Şeriye Mahkemesi başkâtibi". At about 21, in 1894/95, Mustafa Faik began work in Komotini, on a first salary of 200 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1894/95, with Mustafa Faik as Belediye Tanzifat müfettişi in Komotini, the birthplace. The last entries, from 1895 to 1910, name Mustafa Faik as Muhasebe Kalemi mukayyid refiki, with no place. In place of a title the lists give Infisal for 1894/95.

Pay rose from 200 kuruş a month in 1894/95 to a peak of 800 in 1909/10, when 61 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1909/10.

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.
