Life and register readings

The life of Mahmut Reşat Bey began in Bilecik in 1873/74 (AH 1290); the father's occupation was "Kudüs sancağı eski mutasarrıfı". The first annual entry, for 1898/99, places Mahmut Reşat in Paris as Paris Sefareti üçüncü kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1899/1900 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Madrid Sefareti başkâtip muavini. The farthest post, Paris, lay about 2,400 km from Bilecik, and fewer than 2 per cent of the 5,339 officials with a known birthplace and place of service served as far from the birthplace.

The salary went from 1,300 kuruş a month in 1898/99 to 2,600 in 1899/1900, the peak, in Paris, when 96 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1899/1900.

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.
