Life and register readings

The life of MUHAMMED NAFİ EFENDİ began in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1861/62 (AH 1278). The schooling was at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi).

MUHAMMED NAFİ began work in Kirkuk in 1879/80, at about 18. The first annual entry, for 1879/80, places MUHAMMED NAFİ in Kirkuk, the birthplace, as tahrirat ve muhasebe kalemleri ile belediye dairesi mülazımı, where the entries run to 1887/88. The lists have no entry for 1888 to 1891. From 1891 to 1903 every annual entry places MUHAMMED NAFİ in Erbil.

The salary went from 150 kuruş a month in 1891/92 to 360 in 1902/03, the peak, in Erbil, when 42 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over ten years the salaries add up to 20,340 kuruş, 41 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1902/03.

Places in order of time
