Life and register readings

The life of Mustafa Faik Efendi began in Didymoteicho (Dimetoka) in 1874/75 (AH 1291); the father's occupation was "İkinci sınıf dava vekili". Work began in Komotini (Gümülcine) in 1893/94, at about 19. The annual lists begin in 1893/94, with Mustafa Faik as Tahrirat Kalemi stajyeri in Komotini, where the entries run to 1897/98. Next came Sultanyeri from 1899 to 1901. At the same time, from 1900 to 1907, the lists also place Mustafa Faik in Komotini as Tahrirat Kalemi evrak mukayyidi. Alongside, the lists for 1906/07 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Nakil. Alongside, the lists for 1906 to 1909 give a second post, in Sultanyeri as Tahrirat kâtibi. The lists have no entry for 1909 to 1911. Alongside, the lists for 1908/09 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Nakil. Alongside, the lists for 1908/09 give a second post, in Ardino as Tahrirat kâtibi.

The salary went from 70 kuruş a month in 1894/95 to 480 in 1899/1900, the peak, in Sultanyeri, when 54 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1911/12.

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.
