Life and register readings
The life of Mehmet Rıfat Efendi began in Silistra (Silistre); the father's occupation was "Silistre sancağı muhasebecisi". The annual lists begin in 1873/74 (AH 1290), with Mehmet Rıfat as Tahrirat kalemi katibi (İstifa) in Silistra, the birthplace. Mehmet Rıfat then moved to Shumen (Şumnu), Varna and Istanbul from 1874 to 1880. The lists have no entry for 1876 to 1878 and 1880 to 1894. The last entries, from 1894 to 1909, name Mehmet Rıfat as Birinci sınıf halife, with no place.
The salary went from 100 kuruş a month in 1874/75 to 1,440 in 1904/05, the peak, when nine in ten paid officials earned less. Over nine years the salaries add up to 110,640 kuruş, 2.4 times what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1908/09.
