Life and register readings

MUHAMMET ALİ EFENDİ was born in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1861/62 (AH 1278); the father was a merchant (tüccar). The schooling was at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi).

At about 16, in 1878, MUHAMMET ALİ began work. The first annual entry, for 1878, names MUHAMMET ALİ as mülazım (kalem), with no place, with a rise to registry clerk (Mukayyit) in 1881/82 and to muharrir-i sani in 1885/86. In place of a title the lists give Azil (dismissal) for 1889/90.

The salary went from 200 kuruş a month in 1880/81 to 800 in 1891/92, the peak, when three in four paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1891/92.

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.
