Life and register readings

The life of Mehmed Galib Efendi began in Bosna in 1874/75 (AH 1291); the father's occupation was "Kırkağaç Mekteb-i Rüşdiyesi muallimi". Work began in Kırkağaç in 1899/1900, at about 25, on a first salary of 150 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1899/1900, places Mehmed Galib in Kırkağaç as Rüşdiye üçüncü muallimi, where the entries run to 1903/04. The lists have no entry for 1904 to 1910. Alongside, the lists for 1903/04 give a second post, in Bergama as Ziraat Bankası Sandığı muhasebe kitabeti üçüncü refiki. The annual lists then follow Mehmed Galib to Kos in 1910/11. Alongside, the lists for 1910/11 give a second post, in Turgutlu as Ziraat Bankası Sandığı memuru.

Pay rose from 150 kuruş a month in 1899/1900 to a peak of 500 in 1910/11, in Turgutlu, when 44 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over six years the salaries add up to 16,800 kuruş, 55 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1910/11.

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.
