Mehmed Efendi

Annual salary study and register readings

This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

The life of Mehmed Efendi began in Harput in 1879/80 (AH 1297). Both annual entries, for 1909/10 and 1910/11, place Mehmed in Keban as Ziraat Bankası muhasebe kâtibi vekili.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 250 kuruş a month in 1909/10, in Keban, when 15 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1910/11.

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.
