Life and register readings

The life of Mehmed Hilmi Efendi began in Evrek (Çemişgezek) in 1877/78 (AH 1294); the father's occupation was "Diyarbekir vilayeti idadi mektebi mübassırı". At about 29, in 1906/07, Mehmed Hilmi began work in Istanbul. The annual lists begin in 1906/07, with Mehmed Hilmi as Postahane seyyar memurluğu mülazemeti in Istanbul, where the entries run to 1909/10. Alongside, the lists for 1909/10 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Münakalat-ı bahriye seyyar memuru.

The salary went from 320 kuruş a month in 1908/09 to 600 in 1909/10, the peak, when half the paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1909/10.

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.
