Life and register readings

The life of Nazif Efendi began in Didymoteicho (Dimetoka) in 1844/45 (AH 1260); the father's occupation was "Tacir". Work began in Didymoteicho in 1878/79, at about 35, on a first salary of 140 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1878/79, with Nazif as Dimetoka Rüsumat Müdürlüğü piyade kolcusu in Didymoteicho, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1889/90. At the same time, from 1889 to 1892, the lists also place Nazif in Soufli (Sofulu) as Sofulu Müdürlüğü başkâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1891 to 1895 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Müslim Memlehası sandık emini. Alongside, the lists for 1894 to 1896 give a second post, in Uzunköprü as Cisriergene Düyun-ı Umumiye memur vekili. Alongside, the lists for 1895/96 give a second post, in Mürefte as Mürefte Düyun-ı Umumiye Müdürlüğü ikinci kâtibi.

The salary went from 140 kuruş a month in 1878/79 to 450 in 1889/90, the peak, in Soufli, when 53 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1895/96.

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.
