Life and register readings
The life of Mehmed Ali Efendi began in Pristina (Priştine) in 1885/86 (AH 1303); the father's occupation was "Emekli jandarma neferi". From the first annual entry, for 1905/06, to 1907/08, every annual entry places Mehmed Ali in the same post, Üsküp Rüsumat Müdürlüğü kapı memur vekili, in Skopje.
