Annual salary study and register readings

This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

The life of Mehmed Nevzad Efendi began in Tokat in 1869/70 (AH 1286); the father's occupation was "Tokat merkez vergi kâtibi". The annual lists begin in 1888/89, with Mehmed Nevzad as stajyer (Görevin sona ermesi) and no place named. For 1889 to 1895 and 1897 to 1905 the lists have no entry.

Pay rose from 100 kuruş a month in 1888/89 to a peak of 250 in 1905/06, when 22 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, four years of salary come to 5,640 kuruş, 27 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1905/06.

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.
