Annual salary study and register readings

This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

The life of MUHAMMED ALİ EFENDİ began in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1872/73 (AH 1289). MUHAMMED ALİ studied at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi).

At about 15, in 1886/87, MUHAMMED ALİ began work, on a first salary of 200 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1886/87, names MUHAMMED ALİ as tahrir vergi kalemi mülazımı, with no place. For 1888 to 1890 and 1902 to 1905 the lists have no entry.

The salary went from 200 kuruş a month in 1887/88 to 360 in 1899/1900, the peak, when 41 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1905/06.

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.
