Life and register readings

Yusuf Ziyaeddin Efendi was born in Kemaliye (Eğin); the father's occupation was "talebe-i ulûm (âlim)". The schooling was at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi).

Yusuf Ziyaeddin began work in Trabzon in 1867/68 (AH 1284), on a first salary of 300 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1867/68, with Yusuf Ziyaeddin as Mürûr Yoklaması Memuru in Trabzon, where the entries run to 1871/72. The lists have no entry for 1868 to 1870 and 1872 to 1875. Alongside, the lists for 1871 to 1881 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Batum-Kars Şose Yolu memuru.

Pay rose from 300 kuruş a month in 1867/68 to a peak of 640 in 1880/81, when 73 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1880/81.

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.
