Life and register readings

Yahya Naci Efendi was born in Erzincan into the İslam community; the father's occupation was "Zürra (çiftçi)". The first annual entry, for 1886/87 (AH 1304), names Yahya Naci as Evrak kalemi katibi, with no place. The lists have no entry for 1887 to 1892.

The salary went from 80 kuruş a month in 1886/87 to 320 in 1892/93, the peak, when 37 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1892/93.

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.
