Life and register readings

Mustafa Kamil Efendi was born in Bilecik in 1873/74 (AH 1290); the father's occupation was "Bilecik kazası nüfus kayıt memuru". The personnel record dates the first work in Ertugrul to 1886/87, after the first annual entry. The annual lists begin in 1885/86, with Mustafa Kamil as Rüştiye şehadetnamesi in Bilecik, the birthplace. Mustafa Kamil then moved to Ertugrul from 1886 to 1900, then Söğüt in 1904/05. For 1887 to 1891, 1895 to 1899 and 1900 to 1904 the lists have no entry. Alongside, the lists for 1904/05 give a second post, in Beyşehir as Ziraat Bankası muhasebe kâtibi.

The salary went from 60 kuruş a month in 1891/92 to 350 in 1899/1900, the peak, in Ertugrul, when 39 per cent of paid officials earned less. The peak lasted a single year; the next list gives 250 kuruş. Over six years the salaries add up to 10,080 kuruş, 35 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1904/05.

Places in order of time
