Life and register readings

Mehmed Samiüddin Efendi was born in Istanbul in 1838/39 (AH 1254) into the İslam community; the father's occupation was "Fatih dersiâmı". The annual lists begin in 1856/57, with Mehmed Samiüddin as Ruûs maaşı başlangıcı and no place named. The lists have no entry for 1857 to 1900. The last post was in Jerusalem (Kudüs) in 1900/01. Entries spanning 46 years are rare, reached by fewer than 3 per cent of the 8,239 officials. No annual entry gives a salary. The final annual entry is for 1900/01.

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.
