Life and register readings

Minas Efendi was born in Sis in 1854/55 (AH 1271). At about 15, in 1869/70, Minas began work, on a first salary of 30 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1869/70, with Minas as Muhasebe Kalemi kayıt işleri and no place named, with a rise to Mal Muduru in 1874/75. The lists have no entry for 1871 to 1874 and 1875 to 1884.

The salary went from 30 kuruş a month in 1869/70 to 570 in 1874/75, the peak, as Mal Muduru, when 62 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, four years of salary come to 14,400 kuruş, 72 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1884/85.

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.
