Life and register readings

The life of Mehmet Tayyip Efendi began in Sivas in 1845/46 (AH 1262). Mehmet Tayyip began work in 1866/67, at about 20. The first annual entry, for 1866/67, places Mehmet Tayyip in Sivas, the birthplace, as muhasebe kalemi stajyeri, where the entries run to 1868/69. The lists have no entry for 1869 to 1871. The last posts were in Şebinkarahisar in 1871/72 and Kocgiri in 1877/78. For 1872 to 1877 the lists have no entry.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 250 kuruş a month in 1871/72, as Katip in Şebinkarahisar, when 21 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1877/78.

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.
