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 Mehmed Bey began in Topçular köyü, Kozan kazası in 1873/74 (AH 1290). The annual lists begin in 1906/07, with Mehmed as Ziraat Bankası Sandığı muhasebe kâtibi yardımcısı and no place named.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 250 kuruş a month in 1906/07, when 22 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, four years of salary come to 12,000 kuruş, 52 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1909/10.

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.
