Life and register readings

The life of Mustafa Asım Efendi began in Bosna in 1874/75 (AH 1291); the father's occupation was "Asâkir-i Şâhâne tekayyüdü (emekli)". Mustafa Asım began work in Turgutlu (Kasaba) in 1889/90, at about 16. The first annual entry, for 1889/90, places Mustafa Asım in Turgutlu as Polis İdaresi mülazımı, where the entries run to 1892/93. Alongside, the lists for 1892 to 1895 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Nahiye tahrirat kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1894/95 give a second post, in Salihli as Kaza tahrirat kâtibi.

Pay rose from 180 kuruş a month in 1892/93 to a peak of 240 in 1894/95, in Salihli, when 21 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over three years the salaries add up to 7,200 kuruş, 50 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final 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.
