Life and register readings

Seyyid Mehmed Tahir Efendi was born in Rukal in 1865/66 (AH 1282), into the İslam community, and the father's occupation was "Âlim, şeyh". Work began in Al-Karak (Kerek) in 1903/04, at about 38. Of the 5,664 officials whose age at first work is known, fewer than 4 per cent started at 38 or older. The annual lists begin in 1903/04, with Mehmed Tahir as Kerek Leyli Mektebi muallim-i sânisi in Al-Karak. Next came Tripoli in 1904/05, then a post with no place named from 1913 to 1924. For 1905 to 1913 and 1914 to 1923 the lists have no entry. In 1925/26 the lists place Mehmed Tahir in Istanbul. The posts lie on three continents, Africa, Asia and Europe, as for only 37 of the 6,605 officials with a place of service. No annual entry gives a salary. The last annual entry is for 1925/26.

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.
