Life and register readings

SÜLEYMAN FAYIK EFENDİ was born in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1866/67 (AH 1283). The schooling was at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi). At about 13, in 1878/79, SÜLEYMAN FAYIK began work in Basra. Of the 5,664 officials whose age at first work is known, fewer than 5 per cent started at 13 or younger. The first annual entry, for 1878/79, places SÜLEYMAN FAYIK in Basra as telgrafhane mülazımı, where the entries run to 1881/82. Alongside, the lists for 1881 to 1899 give a second post, in a post with no place named as muhasebe kalemi masalih-i cariye katibi. For 1883 to 1886, 1887 to 1894 and 1899 to 1904 the lists have no entry. Alongside, the lists for 1898 to 1905 give a second post, in Baghdad as adliye müfettişliği katibi. The lists have no entry for 1905 to 1911. The last entry, for 1911/12, names SÜLEYMAN FAYIK as bidayet mahkemesi azası, with no place. The lists give Infisal for 1898/99 instead of a title.

Pay rose from 50 kuruş a month in 1881/82 to a peak of 700 in 1911/12, when 36 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final 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.
