Life and register readings

Mehmed Fevzi Efendi was born in Malatya in 1877/78 (AH 1294). Work began in Malatya in 1892/93, at about 16. The annual lists begin in 1892/93, with Mehmed Fevzi as Nüfus Kalemi stajyeri in Malatya, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1896/97. Alongside, the lists for 1896/97 give a second post, in Kâhta as Nüfus Kâtibi. In 1898/99 the lists place Mehmed Fevzi in Adıyaman (Hısnımansur).

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 125 kuruş a month in 1896/97, in Kâhta, when 6 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1898/99.

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.
