Life and register readings

The life of Muhammet Sait Efendi began in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1856/57 (AH 1273). Muhammet Sait began work in Şanlıurfa (Urfa) in 1878, at about 21. The first annual entry, for 1878, places Muhammet Sait in Şanlıurfa as defter-i hakani kalemi mülazımı, where the entries run to 1882/83. Alongside, the lists for 1882/83 give a second post, in Bilan as aşar idaresi ikinci katibi. Alongside, the lists for 1882 to 1891 give a second post, in Aleppo as aşar müdüriyeti üçüncü katibi. Alongside, the lists for 1886/87 give a second post, in a post with no place named as aşar ihale memuru. Muhammet Sait then moved to Gaziantep (Antep) from 1888 to 1897. Alongside, the lists for 1888 to 1890 give a second post, in a post with no place named as amval-i umumiye tahsil memuru (ilaveten). Next came Şanlıurfa from 1896 to 1898. Alongside, the lists for 1897 to 1911 give a second post, in Aleppo as mefreze katibi. Alongside, the lists for 1910/11 give a second post, in a post with no place named as açıkta (İnfisal).

Pay rose from 240 kuruş a month in 1882/83 to a peak of 1,000 in 1897/98, in Aleppo, when 83 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1910/11.

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.
