Life and register readings

Mehmed Şükrî Efendi was born in Vushtrri (Vulçıtrın) in 1883/84 (AH 1301). The first annual entry, for 1900/01, places Mehmed Şükrî in Vushtrri, the birthplace, as Sandık emini, where the entries run to 1902/03. Alongside, the lists for 1902 to 1906 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Görevin sona ermesi. At the same time, from 1905/06, the lists also place Mehmed Şükrî in Novi Pazar (Yenipazar) as Mal müdürü yardımcısı. The lists give Infisal for 1905/06 instead of a title.

The salary went from 270 kuruş a month in 1900/01 to 500 in 1905/06, the peak, in Novi Pazar, when 52 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, six years of salary come to 19,080 kuruş, 65 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1905/06.

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.
