Life and register readings

Mehmed Naci Efendi was born in Malatya in 1855/56 (AH 1272) into the İslam community; the father was a merchant (tüccar). At about 33, in 1888/89, Mehmed Naci began work. The annual lists begin in 1888/89, with Mehmed Naci as Evrak Mukayyidi and no place named. For 1889 to 1891 the lists have no entry.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 300 kuruş a month in 1891/92, as Mal Muduru Muavini, when 28 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over three years the salaries add up to 6,480 kuruş, 45 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1893/94.

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.
