Life and register readings

Mehmet Nuri Efendi was born in Afyonkarahisar (Karahisar-ı Sahib); the father's occupation was "Telgraf çavuşu". The first annual entry, for 1904/05 (AH 1322), names Mehmet Nuri as Telgraf ve posta merkezi muhabere memuru, with no place. The lists have no entry for 1905 to 1908 and 1909 to 1911. From 1911 to 1912 the annual entries place Mehmet Nuri in Bitola (Manastır).

The salary went from 800 kuruş a month in 1904/05 to 1,000 in 1908/09, the peak, when three in four paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1911/12.

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.
