Life and register readings

Mustafa Şevki Efendi was born in Orkun, into the İslam community. Work began in 1904/05 (AH 1322), on a first salary of 400 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1904/05, names Mustafa Şevki as memur (unvanı belirtilmemiş), with no place. Mustafa Şevki then moved to Mardin in 1906/07. The last entries, from 1907 to 1911, name Mustafa Şevki as mahkeme reisi, with no place. The lists have no entry for 1908 to 1911.

The salary went from 400 kuruş a month in 1904/05 to 1,600 in 1911, the peak, when four in five paid officials earned less. Over three years the salaries add up to 39,120 kuruş, 2.2 times what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1911.

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.
