Life and register readings

Born in Amasya in 1845 (AH 1261), Ömer Efendi (Tefecizade) came from the İslam community. The first annual entry, for 1874/75, names Ömer (Tefecizade) as memur (görev belirtilmemiş), with no place. For 1875 to 1885 the lists have no entry.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 302 kuruş a month in 1874/75, when 35 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1885/86.

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.
