The surviving career record covers 2 distinct AH years between 1314 and 1315; it begins with Memur in Erzurum (100 kuruş monthly). Recorded language competency: Turkish: Kitabet (writing). Older EDA annual records list “Vefat” under AH 1316; this is not a formal death date.

Assigned salary in the annual career

Monthly kuruş · AH

Annual career record begins at AH 1314

Memur · erzurum · 100 kuruş monthly

First work is separately recorded at AH 1313 in Erzurum. The first-salary field is 100 kuruş; it is not a dated point on this curve.

AH 1313 · 1895 labelRecorded first-work anchorErzurum

Monthly nominal assigned amounts, not confirmed cash payments. Lines connect consecutive AH years only; hollow points mean salary not recorded. Competing entries in one AH year remain separate points, without a unique pay-change line. Gregorian values elsewhere are stored labels.

Later annual status wording

AH 1316 · “Vefat”

Recorded by an additional annual source. This is not a formal death date or another salary observation; the pay curve is not extended.

Locality record

Every recorded locality remains visible in the key. Hollow markers show candidate coordinates; these are not resolved locations. Overlapping markers are offset for legibility; a small anchor and leader retain the source coordinate. Coastlines provide modern geographic context.

How to read the dates, birth-year differences and salaries

AH years are the ordering clock. Birth-year differences subtract uncontested AH birth and event year numbers; they are not exact ages or birthdays. Separately recorded first-job age fields can use a different or unresolved convention and are not substituted into this calculation. Gregorian years are stored dataset labels. The first-work field may concern apprenticeship, paid instruction or earlier state service, and does not establish the beginning of PT service.

Salaries are monthly nominal assigned amounts, not confirmed cash disbursements. Differences between annual entries are not dated promotions or transfers. A source status such as Vefat is not a formal death date; no death locality is assigned from a last work place.

Recorded background

Preparation

School / programme: Rusdiye Mektebi
Schooling duration: 7 source-recorded years
Apprenticeship: 1 source-recorded year
Qualification indicator: 0
Telegraph school indicator: 0
Father’s occupation: Not recorded
Recorded birth year: AH 1292
Religion wording: Musluman
Nationality wording: Turkish

Schooling years are a duration/classification, not an acquisition date. Education and training dates await source-linked structured records; no dates are inferred here. No completion date is inferred from a schooling duration.

Explicit source fields

First-work and entry-pay fields

First-work source date: AH 1313 · 1895 label
Place: Erzurum
First-salary field: 100 kuruş
Source: recovered

The first-work date may concern apprenticeship, paid instruction or earlier state service. The first-salary amount is a separate inherited field; their presence together does not prove that payment began on this date. Neither is the first positive annual salary observation.

Recorded language repertoire

1 field contains historical terms.

Turkish: Kitabet (writing)

Only recorded terms are shown. Omitted language fields mean not recorded; they do not establish that the official lacked a language. Original competency wording is preserved; Kitabet (writing), Tekellum (speaking) and Asina (familiarity) are cautious historical glosses, not modern proficiency levels. Workbook language notes remain separately source-linked in the additional evidence. Read the terminology note.

Further biographical evidence

Source wording and status assertions

Death-status wording in annual sources

Older EDA memur annual extract lists “Vefat” under AH 1316.
Older EDA memureski annual extract lists “Vefat” under AH 1316.

Vefat means death, but this annual status is not a formal death date. Separate extracts may share underlying records and are not independent confirmation. No death locality is inferred.

Inspect the additional source wording, language notes and original codes

These separately linked fields add source wording and raw codes without replacing the annual career. Original rank, decoration and merit-code labels remain unverified; zero is retained literally. Read about the sources.
