Life and register readings

Mahir Efendi was born in Radoviste in 1865/66 (AH 1282); the father was a tradesman (esnaf). The annual lists begin in 1891/92, with Mahir as Görevin sona ermesi and no place named. The lists have no entry for 1892 to 1899. In 1899/1900 the lists place Mahir in Radoviste, the birthplace. In place of a title the lists give Infisal for 1899/1900.

The one salary in the lists is 250 kuruş a month, for 1899/1900, when 21 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1899/1900.

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.
