Life and register readings

Mehmet Rüştü Efendi was born in Sungurlu in 1849/50 (AH 1266). Work began in Sungurlu in 1870/71, at about 20. The first annual entry, for 1870/71, places Mehmet Rüştü in Sungurlu, the birthplace, as Tapu kalemi stajyeri, where the entries run to 1882/83. The lists have no entry for 1871 to 1875. At the same time, from 1882 to 1885, the lists also place Mehmet Rüştü in Samsun as Ambar memuru.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 500 kuruş a month in 1882/83, in Samsun, when 59 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1884/85.

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.
