Life and register readings
Seyit Mehmet Efendi was born in Sivas in 1871/72 (AH 1288); the father's occupation was "Süvari jandarma çavuşu (müstafi)". Work began in Sivas in 1900/01, at about 29, on a first salary of 150 kuruş. From the first annual entry, for 1900/01, to 1907/08, every annual entry places Mehmet in the same post, Polis memuru, in Sivas, the birthplace.
The salary went from 150 kuruş a month in 1900/01 to 500 in 1907/08, the peak, in Sivas, when half the paid officials earned less. Over eight years the salaries add up to 19,800 kuruş, 49 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1907/08.
