Life and register readings

Mustafa Naci Efendi was born in Avrethisarı in 1857/58 (AH 1274). Work began in Istanbul in 1877/78, at about 19, on a first salary of 100 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1877/78, with Mustafa Naci as Bâb-ı Seraskerî Nizamiye Muhasebesi görevlisi in Istanbul. The lists have no entry for 1878 to 1879. The annual lists then follow Mustafa Naci to Arabsun from 1879 to 1882, with a rise to Mal Muduru in 1879/80 and to Tahrirat kâtibi in 1879/80. Alongside, the lists for 1881 to 1890 give a second post, in Nevşehir as Rüsûm Müdürlüğü başkâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1889/90 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Sıhhiye merkez memuru.

The salary went from 100 kuruş a month in 1877/78 to 700 in 1889/90, the peak, when 73 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1889/90.
