Life and register readings

Mehmed Emin Efendi was born in Silifke in 1882/83 (AH 1300); the father's occupation was "Rençber". The first annual entry, for 1905/06, places Mehmed Emin in Gülnar as Nüfus kâtibi. The last entry, for 1907/08, names Mehmed Emin as Tahsil Memurluğu kâtibi, with no place.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 125 kuruş a month in 1905/06, in Gülnar, when one in ten paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1907/08.
