Life and register readings

Mehmed Emin Efendi was born in Mitrovica (Mitroviça) in 1865/66 (AH 1282); the father was a medrese teacher (müderris). At about 29, in 1894/95, Mehmed Emin began work in Mitrovica, on a first salary of 250 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1894/95, places Mehmed Emin in Mitrovica, the birthplace, as Nüfus memuru, where the entries run to 1903/04. Alongside, the lists for 1903 to 1910 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Evkaf müdürü. In place of a title the lists give Azil (dismissal) for 1903/04.

The salary went from 250 kuruş a month in 1894/95 to 750 in 1909/10, the peak, when 58 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1909/10.

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.
