Life and register readings
The life of Mehmed Hamdi Efendi began in Harput in 1855/56 (AH 1272); the father's occupation was "Tacir". Mehmed Hamdi began work in 1877/78, at about 21, on a first salary of 100 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1877/78, names Mehmed Hamdi as Maliye Hastahanesi Kalem Odası muavini, with no place. For 1879 to 1881 and 1883 to 1886 the lists have no entry. Alongside, the lists for 1882/83 give a second post, in Çarşamba as Rüsûm memuru. The annual lists then follow Mehmed Hamdi to a post with no place named from 1886 to 1898. The last post was in Trabzon in 1898/99.
The salary went from 100 kuruş a month in 1877/78 to 900 in 1898/99, the peak, in Trabzon, when 81 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1898/99.
