Yusuf Ziya Efendi

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 Yusuf Ziya Efendi began in Kemah. Work began in 1896/97 (AH 1314). The annual lists begin in 1896/97, with Yusuf Ziya as tahrirat kalemi mülazımı in Mazgirt, where the entries run to 1899/1900. At the same time, from 1899/1900, the lists also place Yusuf Ziya in a post with no place named as tapu kâtibi. Yusuf Ziya then moved to Harput and Kemaliye (Eğin) from 1900 to 1905. The lists have no entry for 1905 to 1908 and 1910 to 1911. The last entry, for 1911/12, names Yusuf Ziya as Demiryolları Müdürlüğü muhasebesi, with no place.

Pay rose from 150 kuruş a month in 1900/01 to a peak of 1,100 in 1911/12, when 55 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1911/12.

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.
