Life and register readings

Nikolaki Franko Efendi was born in Bigados in 1878 (AH 1295); the father's occupation was "Yağcı". At about 19, in 1897/98, Nikolaki Franko began work in Istanbul. The first annual entry, for 1897/98, places Nikolaki Franko in Istanbul as Tuz Nezareti Tahrirat Kalemi mülazımı. Alongside, the lists for 1897 to 1900 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Muvakkat taharri ve muayene memuru.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 250 kuruş a month in 1897/98, when one in five paid officials earned less. Over three years the salaries add up to 9,000 kuruş, 62 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1899/1900.

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.
