Life and register readings

Mehmet Necati Efendi was born in Liyobuşka. Work began in 1903/04 (AH 1321). The annual lists begin in 1903/04, with Mehmet Necati as Polis idaresi mülazımı and no place named. For 1904 to 1910 the lists have no entry. Alongside, the lists for 1903/04 give a second post, in Geyve as Ziraat Bankası muhasebe kitabeti refakati. The annual lists then follow Mehmet Necati to Beyoğlu in 1910/11. The last entries, from 1911 to 1913, name Mehmet Necati as Mal Muduru, with no place.

Pay rose from 250 kuruş a month in 1903/04 to a peak of 1,000 in 1911/12, as Mal Muduru, when 46 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1912/13.

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.
