Life and register readings

Süleyman Efendi was born in Gelibolu. The personnel record dates the first work in Gelibolu to 1896/97 (AH 1314), after the first annual entry, on a first salary of 200 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1892/93, with Süleyman as gönüllü askerlik and no place named. For 1893 to 1896 and 1897 to 1899 the lists have no entry. Süleyman then moved to Gelibolu in 1899/1900. The lists have no entry for 1900 to 1903. The last entries, from 1903 to 1906, name Süleyman as redif askerliği, with no place.

Pay rose from 200 kuruş a month in 1896/97 to a peak of 400 in 1905/06, when 41 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over three years the salaries add up to 10,800 kuruş, 70 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1905/06.

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.
