Annual salary study and register readings

This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

Mehmet Ağa was born in Ürgüp in 1862/63 (AH 1279); the father was a mounted courier (tatar). The schooling was at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi).

The personnel record dates the first work to 1897/98, after the first annual entry, on a first salary of 250 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1886/87, with Mehmet as a soldier (Asker) and no place named. For 1891 to 1893 and 1894 to 1897 the lists have no entry. The lists give Infisal for 1893/94 instead of a title.

The one salary in the lists is 250 kuruş a month, for 1897/98, when one in five paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1897/98.

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.
