Life and register readings

Mehmed Şükrü Efendi was born in Bursa in 1868/69 (AH 1285), into the İslam community. The first annual entry, for 1899/1900, names Mehmed Şükrü as Bursa merkez kazası tarik-i bedalet-i nakdiyesi kitâbeti, with no place. For 1904 to 1907 the lists have no entry.

Pay rose from 250 kuruş a month in 1899/1900 to a peak of 400 in 1907/08, when 40 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1907/08.

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.
