Life and register readings

The life of SÜLEYMAN FA İK EFEND İ began in Afyonkarahisar (Karahisar-ı Sahib) in 1869/70 (AH 1286). The first annual entry, for 1898/99, names SÜLEYMAN FA İK İ as Kordon Evkaf Kalemi İkinci Kâtibi, with no place. Alongside, the lists for 1903 to 1910 give a second post, in Istanbul as Üçüncü İdare-i Evkafiye Mümeyyizi. The last entries, from 1911 to 1913, name SÜLEYMAN FA İK İ as Levazım Kalemi Muhasebe Memuru Refiki, with no place.

Pay rose from 200 kuruş a month in 1898/99 to a peak of 1,000 in 1912/13, when 40 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1912/13.

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.
