Annual salary study and register readings

This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

The life of Mehmet Fevzi Efendi began in Kars. The first annual entry, for 1872/73 (AH 1289), names Mehmet Fevzi as Arazi Yoklama Kalemi Kâtibi, with no place. The lists have no entry for 1874 to 1879. Next came İspir from 1879 to 1890. For 1885 to 1889 and 1890 to 1894 the lists have no entry. From 1894 to 1899 the annual entries place Mehmet Fevzi in Bayburt. The lists have no entry for 1895 to 1898.

Pay rose from 400 kuruş a month in 1879/80 to a peak of 500 in 1894/95, in Bayburt, when 55 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1898/99.

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.
