Recovered annual record
A short account from recorded fields

Vartan Yıldızyan was born in Kayseri in AH 1275. Recorded schooling includes 14 years at Mulkiye Mektebi. First work is recorded in Ruscuk in AH 1293 (18 AH years after the recorded birth year), with “Telgraf” as first-job wording. The surviving career record covers 2 distinct AH years between 1293 and 1294; it begins with Muhabere memuru in Ruscuk (500 kuruş monthly). Recorded language competency: Turkish: Kitabet (writing); French: Kitabet (writing); Armenian: Kitabet (writing).

Annual career record begins at AH 1293

Muhabere memuru · ruscuk · 500 kuruş monthly

First work is separately recorded at AH 1293 in Ruscuk (Telgraf). The first-salary field is 500 kuruş; it is not a dated point on this curve.

Monthly nominal assigned amounts, not confirmed cash payments. Lines connect consecutive AH years only; hollow points mean salary not recorded. Competing entries in one AH year remain separate points, without a unique pay-change line. Gregorian values elsewhere are stored labels.

  • Locality record

Every recorded locality remains visible in the key. Hollow markers show candidate coordinates; these are not resolved locations. Overlapping markers are offset for legibility; a small anchor and leader retain the source coordinate. Coastlines provide modern geographic context.

How to read the dates, birth-year differences and salaries

AH years are the ordering clock. Birth-year differences subtract uncontested AH birth and event year numbers; they are not exact ages or birthdays. Separately recorded first-job age fields can use a different or unresolved convention and are not substituted into this calculation. Gregorian years are stored dataset labels. The first-work field may concern apprenticeship, paid instruction or earlier state service, and does not establish the beginning of PT service.

Salaries are monthly nominal assigned amounts, not confirmed cash disbursements. Differences between annual entries are not dated promotions or transfers. A source status such as Vefat is not a formal death date; no death locality is assigned from a last work place.

Schooling years are a duration/classification, not an acquisition date. Education and training dates await source-linked structured records; no dates are inferred here. No completion date is inferred from a schooling duration.

The first-work date may concern apprenticeship, paid instruction or earlier state service. The first-salary amount is a separate inherited field; their presence together does not prove that payment began on this date. Neither is the first positive annual salary observation.

This record supports the limited workbook-labelled PT-start alignment at AH 1293. Its source department is Telgraf; the appointment and paid-service start have not been independently adjudicated.

Recorded language repertoire

3 fields contain historical terms.

Turkish
Kitabet (writing)
French
Kitabet (writing)
Armenian
Kitabet (writing)

Only recorded terms are shown. Omitted language fields mean not recorded; they do not establish that the official lacked a language. Original competency wording is preserved; Kitabet (writing), Tekellum (speaking) and Asina (familiarity) are cautious historical glosses, not modern proficiency levels. Workbook language notes remain separately source-linked in the additional evidence. Read the terminology note.

How to read this dossier

The website joins the exact archival identity across editions. Names are attributes and never merge records. No annual gap is filled from another extract. Geographic alternatives, missing values and differences remain evidence rather than silent corrections.
