Annual salary study and register readings

This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

The life of Mustafa Remzi Efendi began in Bilecik in 1877/78 (AH 1294); the father's occupation was "Kadifeci". Both annual entries, for 1893/94 and 1894/95, place Mustafa Remzi in Bilecik, the birthplace, as Hayvan vergisi sayım kâtibi.

The salary went from 500 kuruş a month in 1893/94 to 1,000 in 1894/95, the peak, in Bilecik, when four in five paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1894/95.

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.
