Life and register readings

Mustafa ġevket Efendi was born in Antakya in 1852/53 (AH 1269). Work began in Antakya in 1869/70, at about 16. The annual lists begin in 1869/70, with Mustafa ġevket as Emlak İdaresi stajyeri in Antakya, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1896/97. For 1870 to 1874 the lists have no entry. At the same time, from 1896/97, the lists also place Mustafa ġevket in İskenderun as Nüfus Memuru.

Pay rose from 125 kuruş a month in 1881/82 to a peak of 250 in 1896/97, in İskenderun, when 18 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 16 years the salaries add up to 25,500 kuruş, 32 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1896/97.

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.
