Life and register readings

Born in Istanbul in 1874/75 (AH 1291), Hüseyin Sadeddin Bey was the child of a colonel (miralay). At about 24, in 1898/99, Hüseyin Sadeddin began work, on a first salary of 150 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1898/99, names Hüseyin Sadeddin as Hazine-i Hassa Tahrirat Kalemi memuru, with no place. In place of a title the lists give Vefat (death) for 1908/09.

The salary went from 150 kuruş a month in 1898/99 to 1,115 in 1907/08, the peak, when 81 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over ten years the salaries add up to 77,700 kuruş, 1.6 times what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1908/09.

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.
