Life and register readings

Yusuf Ziya Efendi was born in Çemişgezek in 1873/74 (AH 1290); the father's occupation was "Evkâf-ı Hümâyûn mahlûlat muhammini". Work began in 1886/87, at about 14, on a first salary of 80 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1886/87, with Yusuf Ziya as İstihkâm Dairesi Birinci Şube memuru and no place named. The lists have no entry for 1891 to 1902.

The salary went from 80 kuruş a month in 1886/87 to 1,000 in 1909/10, the peak, when 68 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1909/10.

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.
