Life and register readings

Born in Trebinje (Trebin) in 1866/67 (AH 1283), Mehmed Nureddin Efendi was the child of a merchant (tüccar). Mehmed Nureddin began work in 1902/03, at about 36, on a first salary of 300 kuruş. Of the 5,664 officials whose age at first work is known, fewer than 5 per cent started at 36 or older. The first annual entry, for 1902/03, names Mehmed Nureddin as Teftiş ve Muayene memuru, with no place. The lists have no entry for 1906 to 1910. The last posts were in Peja (İpek) from 1910 to 1911.

Pay rose from 300 kuruş a month in 1902/03 to a peak of 800 in 1910/11, in Peja, when 62 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1911.
