Life and register readings
The life of Mehmed Şevki Efendi began in Germili in 1851/52 (AH 1268); the father's occupation was "Mülkiye kaymakamı". Work began in Ovacık in 1881/82, at about 30, on a first salary of 400 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1881/82, places Mehmed Şevki in Ovacık as Bidayet mahkemesi başkâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1881 to 1883 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Vilayet muhasebe kalemi masarıfat kitabeti refakati. At the same time, from 1882 to 1885, the lists also place Mehmed Şevki in Çemişgezek as Mal Muduru, with a rise to Mal Muduru. Alongside, the lists for 1884 to 1887 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Vilayet muhasebe kalemi masarıfat kitabeti refakati. Alongside, the lists for 1886 to 1888 give a second post, in Carsancak as Mal Muduru. Alongside, the lists for 1887 to 1889 give a second post, in Çemişgezek as Mal Muduru. Alongside, the lists for 1894 to 1897 give a second post, in Çemişgezek as Mal Muduru.
The salary went from 400 kuruş a month in 1881/82 to 600 in 1887/88, the peak, as Mal Muduru in Çemişgezek, when 64 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 15 years pay ended below where it began, 300 kuruş against 400. The last annual entry is for 1896/97.
