Life and register readings

The life of Muharrem Ziver Efendi began in Gaziantep (Antep) in 1824/25 (AH 1240). Work began in Gaziantep in 1848/49, at about 24. The annual lists begin in 1848/49, with Muharrem Ziver as Şer‘iye mahkemesi mülazımı in Gaziantep, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1865/66. For 1861 to 1864 the lists have no entry. Next came a post with no place named from 1866 to 1871, then Istanbul in 1872/73. From 1873 to 1879 the annual entries place Muharrem Ziver in Zor.

Pay rose from 250 kuruş a month in 1853/54 to a peak of 950 in 1873/74, in Zor, when three in four paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1878/79.

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.
