Life and register readings

MEHMED RA İF EFEND İ was born in Muğla. Work began in 1900/01 (AH 1318). The annual lists begin in 1900/01, with MEHMED RA İF İ as Orman Ondalık Memuru and no place named. Alongside, the lists for 1901/02 give a second post, in Marmaris as Çam Kabuğu Kolcusu. At the same time, from 1903 to 1905, the lists also place MEHMED RA İF İ in Bodrum as Orman ve Maadin Tezkere Muharriri. The annual lists then follow MEHMED RA İF İ to Köyceğiz in 1906/07. For 1907 to 1909 the lists have no entry. The last entries, from 1909 to 1913, name MEHMED RA İF İ as Ondalık Memuru (İnfisal), with no place. In place of a title the lists give Azil (dismissal) for 1906/07.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 400 kuruş a month in 1903/04, in Bodrum, when 43 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1912/13.

Places in order of time
