Life and register readings

Born in Erzincan, Mehmet Tevfik came from the İslam community; the father's occupation was "sıbyan mektebi hocası". Mehmet Tevfik began work in 1891/92 (AH 1309), on a first salary of 300 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1891/92, with Mehmet Tevfik as muvakkat kantar kâtibi and no place named.

Pay rose from 300 kuruş a month in 1891/92 to a peak of 550 in 1893/94, when 63 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1900/01.

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.
