Life and register readings

Yusuf Ziya Efendi was born in Bosna in 1876/77 (AH 1293). Work began in Ankara in 1891/92, at about 16. The annual lists begin in 1891/92, with Yusuf Ziya as Ankara Vilayeti Telgrafhanesi mülazımı in Ankara, where the entries run to 1903/04. For 1904 to 1906 the lists have no entry. At the same time, from 1903/04, the lists also place Yusuf Ziya in Erzurum as Posta mukayyidi. The last entry, for 1906/07, names Yusuf Ziya as Trablusşam İskelesi Telgraf ve Posta Merkezi posta memuru, with no place.

The salary went from 200 kuruş a month in 1903/04 to 300 in 1906/07, the peak, when 29 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1906/07.
