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 Nuri Efendi began in Safranbolu in 1878 (AH 1295); the father's occupation was "Dersiam". Mehmed Nuri began work in 1896/97, at about 18. The annual lists begin in 1896/97, with Mehmed Nuri as Mal kalemi mülazımı in Safranbolu, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1903/04. Alongside, the lists for 1903 to 1909 give a second post, in Araç as Ziraat Bankası sandığı muhasebe kâtibi.

The salary went from 250 kuruş a month in 1898/99 to 500 in 1908/09, the peak, in Araç, when 52 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1908/09.

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.
