Mehmet Fuat Efendi

Annual salary study and register readings

This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

The life of Mehmet Fuat Efendi began in Giresun. Work began in 1881/82 (AH 1299). The annual lists begin in 1881/82, with Mehmet Fuat as mülazım (tahrirat) and no place named. The lists have no entry for 1892 to 1894. In place of a title the lists give Infisal for 1901/02.

The salary went from 300 kuruş a month in 1891/92 to 500 in 1894/95, the peak, when 55 per cent of paid officials earned less. The peak lasted a single year; the next list gives 108 kuruş. The last annual entry is for 1901/02.

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.
