Life and register readings

Mehmed Talat Efendi was born in Çemişgezek in 1864/65 (AH 1281). At about 19, in 1883/84, Mehmed Talat began work in Çemişgezek. The annual lists begin in 1883/84, with Mehmed Talat as Tahrirat kalemi mülazımı in Çemişgezek, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1898/99, with a rise to Mal Muduru Muavini in 1888/89. The last entry, for 1899/1900, names Mehmed Talat as Mal Muduru, with no place. In place of a title the lists give Infisal for 1896/97.

Pay rose from 125 kuruş a month in 1883/84 to a peak of 540 in 1899/1900, as Mal Muduru, when 64 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.
