Mehmet Emin 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 Mehmet Emin Efendi began in Söke in 1872/73 (AH 1289); the father's occupation was "Söke Mahkemesi mübaşiri". At about 18, in 1890/91, Mehmet Emin began work in Söke. The annual lists begin in 1890/91, with Mehmet Emin as Düyun-u Umumiye mülazımı in Söke, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1895/96. Alongside, the lists for 1895 to 1902 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Düyun-u Umumiye memuru.

The salary went from 200 kuruş a month in 1891/92 to 300 in 1895/96, the peak, when 27 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 11 years the salaries add up to 35,400 kuruş, 66 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1901/02.

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.
