Life and register readings

Süleyman Tali’ Efendi was born in Safranbolu in 1883/84 (AH 1301); the father's occupation was "Orman süvari memuru". The annual lists begin in 1903/04, with Süleyman Tali’ as İstintak dairesi mülazımı (Nakil) and no place named. Alongside, the lists for 1903 to 1909 give a second post, in Gerede as Tahrirat katibi. At the same time, from 1906 to 1908, the lists also place Süleyman Tali’ in a post with no place named as Tahrirat katibi. Alongside, the lists for 1907 to 1909 give a second post, in Göynük as Orman piyade memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1908/09 give a second post, in Aydın as Temettü vergisi katibi.

Pay rose from 180 kuruş a month in 1903/04 to a peak of 375 in 1908/09, in Aydın, when 42 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, six years of salary come to 15,540 kuruş, 50 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1908/09.
