Life and register readings

Mehmed Sadeddin Bey was born in Istanbul in 1877/78 (AH 1294). Work began in 1894/95, at about 17, on a first salary of 200 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1894/95, with Mehmed Sadeddin as Hazine-i Hassa Tahrirat Kalemi memuru and no place named.

The salary went from 200 kuruş a month in 1894/95 to 1,600 in 1906/07, the peak, when nine in ten paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1913/14.

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.
