Life and register readings

The life of MEHMET NUR İ EFEND İ (DO ĞUM TAR İHİ 1884) began in Afyonkarahisar (Karahisar-ı Sahib); the father's occupation was "Telgraf çavuşu". The first annual entry, for 1900/01 (AH 1318), places MEHMET NUR İ İ (DO ĞUM TAR İHİ in Istanbul as Telgraf Merkezi Muhabere memuru. For 1901 to 1904 the lists have no entry. Next came Al Hudaydah (Hudeyde) from 1908 to 1913. The lists have no entry for 1906 to 1908. Alongside, the lists for 1912/13 give a second post, in Ankara as Muvakkaten posta koli ve havalename memuru. The farthest post, Al Hudaydah, lay about 2,950 km from Afyonkarahisar, and 21 of the 5,339 officials with a known birthplace and place of service served as far from the birthplace.

The salary went from 100 kuruş a month in 1900/01 to 1,200 in 1909/10, the peak, in Al Hudaydah, when three in four paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1912/13.
