Life and register readings

Mustafa Neşet Efendi was born in Gelibolu in 1874/75 (AH 1291) into the İslam community; the father's occupation was "helvacı". The personnel record dates the first work in Gelibolu to 1899/1900, after the first annual entry. The first annual entry, for 1893/94, names Mustafa Neşet as gönüllü askerlik, with no place. The lists have no entry for 1894 to 1899.

Pay rose from 150 kuruş a month in 1899/1900 to a peak of 250 in 1905/06, when 22 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, six years of salary come to 13,200 kuruş, 44 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1906/07.

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.
