Life and register readings
Born in Sivas in 1869/70 (AH 1286), Mehmet Ali Efendi was the child of a court official (mahkeme memuru). Mehmet Ali began work in 1890/91, at about 21, on a first salary of 125 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1890/91, with Mehmet Ali as nüfus kâtibi in Pınarbaşı (Aziziye), where the entries run to 1898/99. The lists have no entry for 1899 to 1901. The annual lists then follow Mehmet Ali to Keban in 1901/02. Alongside, the lists for 1901/02 give a second post, in a post with no place named as nüfus memuru. The lists give Azil (dismissal) for 1901/02 instead of a title.
Pay rose from 125 kuruş a month in 1890/91 to a peak of 250 in 1901/02, in Keban, when 21 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over ten years the salaries add up to 16,500 kuruş, 33 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1901/02.
