Life and register readings
The life of Mehmed Zekeriya Efendi began in Safek (Çemişgezek) in 1872/73 (AH 1289). The annual lists begin in 1891/92, with Mehmed Zekeriya as Bidayet mahkemesi ikinci kâtibi in Kars, where the entries run to 1897/98. Alongside, the lists for 1897/98 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Bidayet mahkemesi müstantik muavini.
The salary went from 225 kuruş a month in 1891/92 to 300 in 1897/98, the peak, when 28 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over seven years the salaries add up to 19,800 kuruş, 57 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1897/98.
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.
Not on the map, as no position is recorded: stop 3 (Hasin).
