Life and register readings
The life of Mehmet Emin Efendi began in Söğüt in 1866/67 (AH 1283); the father's occupation was "Bilecik kazası mal müdürü". Work began in Söğüt in 1881/82, at about 16. The annual lists begin in 1881/82, with Mehmet Emin as Vergi kaleminde devam in Söğüt, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1889/90. For 1882 to 1887 and 1890 to 1892 the lists have no entry. From 1898 to 1900 the annual entries place Mehmet Emin in Kuşadası. The lists have no entry for 1895 to 1898.
Pay rose from 150 kuruş a month in 1887/88 to a peak of 500 in 1899/1900, in Kuşadası, when 55 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over five years the salaries add up to 16,200 kuruş, 67 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1899/1900.
