Life and register readings

Mehmet Hulusi Efendi was born in Bosna in 1853/54 (AH 1270). At about 16, in 1870/71, Mehmet Hulusi began work. The first annual entry, for 1870/71, places Mehmet Hulusi in Zvornik (İzvornik) as Seyyar fırka mukayyidi. Alongside, the lists for 1870/71 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Tahrir-i Emlak Kalemi mülazımı. Next came Hersek from 1871 to 1876. Alongside, the lists for 1875 to 1878 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Meclis-i idare kalemi üçüncü kâtibi. The annual lists then follow Mehmet Hulusi to Silivri from 1878 to 1891. Alongside, the lists for 1890 to 1908 give a second post, in Çatalca as Emlak-ı hümayun şubesi başkâtibi.

The salary went from 250 kuruş a month in 1870/71 to 1,150 in 1907/08, the peak, in Çatalca, when 82 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 39 years the salaries add up to 258,780 kuruş, 1.3 times what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1907/08.

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.
