Life and register readings

Mustafa Efendi was born in Gaziantep (Antep) in 1859/60 (AH 1276) into the İslam community; the father's occupation was "Defter-i Hakanî memuru". At about 20, in 1879/80, Mustafa began work in Gaziantep. The annual lists begin in 1879/80, with Mustafa as Emlak Kalemi mülazımı in Gaziantep, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1894/95. Alongside, the lists for 1894 to 1896 give a second post, in Kilis as Ziraat Bankası Sandığı muhasebe kâtibi vekili.

The salary went from 500 kuruş a month in 1885/86 to 650 in 1887/88, the peak, in Gaziantep, when 71 per cent of paid officials earned less. The peak lasted a single year; the next list gives 500 kuruş. The last annual entry is for 1895/96.

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.
