Life and register readings

Mehmet Fuad Efendi was born in Ürgüp in 1878/79 (AH 1296); the father's occupation was "Mülkiye kaymakamı (mazul)". At about 21, in 1900/01, Mehmet Fuad began work in Istanbul, on a first salary of 50 kuruş. Both annual entries, for 1900/01 and 1901/02, place Mehmet Fuad in Istanbul as Matbah-ı Âmire idare kalemi kâtibi.

Pay rose from 50 kuruş a month in 1900/01 to a peak of 100 in 1901/02, in Istanbul, when 4 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1901/02.

Places in order of time
