Life and register readings

Yakub Bey was born in Topçular, Kozan in 1865/66 (AH 1282); the father's occupation was "Kozan Meclis-i İdaresi azası". Work began in 1880/81, at about 16. The annual lists begin in 1880/81, with Yakub as Tahrirat yazı işleri stajyeri and no place named. From 1883 to 1893 every annual entry places Yakub in Servia (Serfiçe). The lists have no entry for 1886 to 1892.

Pay rose from 225 kuruş a month in 1882/83 to a peak of 615 in 1892/93, in Servia, when 71 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1892/93.

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.
