Life and register readings

Mehmed Emin Efendi was born in Antalya in 1848/49 (AH 1265). At about 27, in 1876/77, Mehmed Emin began work, on a first salary of 630 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1876/77, with Mehmed Emin as Nahiye Muduru and no place named. The lists have no entry for 1878 to 1880. The annual lists then follow Mehmed Emin to İskenderun from 1880 to 1887. Alongside, the lists for 1886/87 give a second post, in Mersin as Rüsumat Müdürlüğü istimatoru.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 630 kuruş a month in 1876/77, as Nahiye Muduru, when 68 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1886/87.

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.
