Life and register readings

Ömer Rahmi Efendi was born in Çorum in 1834/35 (AH 1250); the father's occupation was "Çorum Kazası müfettişi ve müderris". At about 23, in 1857/58, Ömer Rahmi began work. The first annual entry, for 1857/58, names Ömer Rahmi as Vakıflar Müdürlüğü Müfettişlik Kalemi görevlisi, with no place. Next came Beirut in 1879/80. The last entries, from 1880 to 1884, name Ömer Rahmi as Düyun-ı Umumi Muhasebeliği görevlisi, with no place.

Pay rose from 350 kuruş a month in 1862/63 to a peak of 1,050 in 1883/84, when 85 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 23 years of salary come to 175,416 kuruş, 1.5 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1883/84.
