Life and register readings

The life of Ömer Faruk Efendi began in Çemişgezek in 1883/84 (AH 1301); the father's occupation was "Cebel-i Bereket defter-i hakânî başkâtibi". Work began in Cebeli bereket in 1896/97, at about 13. Of the 5,664 officials whose age at first work is known, fewer than 5 per cent started at 13 or younger. The annual lists begin in 1896/97, with Ömer Faruk as Defter-i hakânî kalemi mülâzımı in Cebeli bereket, where the entries run to 1901/02. For 1897 to 1901 the lists have no entry. The annual lists then follow Ömer Faruk to Lemnos (Limni) in 1905/06. Alongside, the lists for 1905/06 give a second post, in Cebeli bereket as Defter-i hakânî kalemi başkâtibi. The last post was in Jerusalem (Kudüs) in 1907/08. The lists give Azil (dismissal) for 1904/05 and İstifa (resignation) for 1906/07 instead of a title.

Pay rose from 380 kuruş a month in 1901/02 to a peak of 500 in 1907/08, in Jerusalem, when half the paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1907/08.

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.
