Life and register readings

The life of Mehmed Zekeriya Efendi began in Kilis in 1878 (AH 1295); the father's occupation was "Belen Hapishanesi gardiyanı". Work began in 1896/97, at about 18. The first annual entry, for 1896/97, names Mehmed Zekeriya as Telgrafhane mülazımı, with no place. Alongside, the lists for 1902/03 give a second post, in Tripoli as Telgraf ve posta merkezi muhabere memuru.

The one salary in the lists is 300 kuruş a month, for 1902/03, when 28 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1902/03.

Places in order of time
