Life and register readings

Born in Varna in 1872/73 (AH 1289), MEHMED ENVER EFENDİ was the child of a merchant (tüccar). At about 20, in 1892/93, MEHMED ENVER began work in Bandırma. The annual lists begin in 1892/93, with MEHMED ENVER as Duyûn-ı Umûmiye Merkez Müdürlüğü Tahrirat ve Muhasebe kalemleri mülazımı in Bandırma. MEHMED ENVER then moved to a post with no place named from 1894 to 1900. Alongside, the lists for 1894 to 1896 give a second post, in Bandırma as Duyûn-ı Umûmiye Merkez Nezareti mülazımı. In place of a title the lists give İstifa (resignation) for 1894/95.

The salary went from 200 kuruş a month in 1892/93 to 400 in 1899/1900, the peak, when 44 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over seven years the salaries add up to 22,200 kuruş, 64 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final 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.
