Life and register readings

Born in Erzincan, Yusuf Ziya Efendi came from the İslam community; the father's occupation was "Redif binbaşısı". Yusuf Ziya began work in 1878/79 (AH 1296), on a first salary of 100 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1878/79, with Yusuf Ziya as ruznamçe kalemi mülazımı and no place named, with a rise to Vezne Mudur Muavini in 1894/95 and to levazım dairesi üçüncü şube müdürü in 1903/04. The lists have no entry for 1882 to 1885, 1888 to 1894 and 1897 to 1903. The last post was in Erzincan, the birthplace, in 1911/12.

Pay rose from 100 kuruş a month in 1878/79 to a peak of 2,500 in 1911, when nine in ten paid officials earned less. The peak lasted a single year; the next list gives 1,785 kuruş. In all, ten years of salary come to 138,300 kuruş, 2.3 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1911/12.

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.
