Life and register readings

Vekil zade Yorgaki Bey was born in Aleppo (Halep) in 1885/86 (AH 1303), into the Katolik community, and the father's occupation was "Vilayet İdare ve Emlak kurulu görevlisi". At about 19, in 1905/06, Vekil zade Yorgaki began work in Aleppo. The first annual entry, for 1905/06, places Vekil zade Yorgaki in Aleppo, the birthplace, as Halep Vilayeti Tercüme Odası görevlisi. Vekil zade Yorgaki then moved to Konya from 1906 to 1908. Alongside, the lists for 1907/08 give a second post, in Mersin as Mersin Sancağı tercümanı.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 800 kuruş a month in 1906/07, in Konya, when 72 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1907/08.
