Life and register readings
Mehmed Rıfat Efendi was born in Antakya in 1881/82 (AH 1299); the father's occupation was "Attar (esnaf)". Work began in Mersin in 1901/02, at about 19, on a first salary of 150 kuruş. Both annual entries, for 1901/02 and 1902/03, place Mehmed Rıfat in Mersin as Rüştiye Riyaziye Muallimi.
The salary went from 150 kuruş a month in 1901/02 to 160 in 1902/03, the peak, in Mersin, when 12 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1902/03.
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.
