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 Efendi began in Çemişgezek in 1864/65 (AH 1281). Mehmed began work in 1890/91, at about 26. The annual lists begin in 1890/91, with Mehmed as Muhasebe kalemi mülâzımı and no place named.

The salary went from 190 kuruş a month in 1890/91 to 800 in 1906/07, the peak, when 72 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 21 years of salary come to 114,840 kuruş, about what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1910/11.

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.
