Life and register readings

Mehmet Nazif Efendi was born in Şebinkarahisar (Karahisar-ı Şarki); the father was a tradesman (esnaf). Work began in Alucra in 1902/03 (AH 1320), on a first salary of 300 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1902/03, places Mehmet Nazif in Alucra as Üçüncü Daire tahsildarı, where the entries run to 1907/08. Alongside, the lists for 1907/08 give a second post, in Koyulhisar as İkinci Daire Piyade tahsildarı.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 300 kuruş a month in 1902/03, in Alucra, when 28 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, six years of salary come to 21,600 kuruş, 70 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. 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.
