Life and register readings

Born in Erzincan, Mehmet Fevzi Efendi came from the İslam community; the father was a deputy judge (naib). The first annual entry, for 1891/92 (AH 1309), names Mehmet Fevzi as Bidayet Mahkemesi müddei-i umumi muavini, with no place. Alongside, the lists for 1892 to 1897 give a second post, in Siirt as Bidayet Mahkemesi ceza dairesi reisi. At the same time, from 1896/97, the lists also place Mehmet Fevzi in Mardin as Bidayet Mahkemesi ceza dairesi reisi.

Pay rose from 1,400 kuruş a month in 1891/92 to a peak of 1,700 in 1896/97, in Siirt, when nine in ten paid officials earned less. In all, three years of salary come to 54,000 kuruş, 3.6 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1896/97.

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.
