According to Sicil-i Ahvâl Records Non-Muslim Statesmen Who Born in Kayseri Employed in the Ottoman Bureaucracy (1839-1883)

Summary/Abstract: The Sicill-i Ahvâl record books are an important archival source that provide information about officers within the Ottoman State. These notebooks started to be kept in the era second of Abdülhamit in 1879 when the Ottoman bureaucracy was formed after the modernization period, and thus beginning with the Tanzimat declaration. A total of eighty-eight (88) biographies of non-Muslim civil servants born in the province of Kayseri registered in the registry have been examined in this study, including information about where the officers were born, their nationality, their father’s name, their father’s profession and title(s), and the languages they were versed in/spoke, and level of education, as well as information pertaining to include their salaries, outstanding efforts, ranks, engagements, medals, and whether or not they have been punished for any given reason.
