Life and register readings

The life of Hüseyin Sabri Efendi began in Taşköprü in 1868/69 (AH 1285); the father's occupation was "Debbağ tüccarı". Hüseyin Sabri had a first salary of 0 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1887/88, places Hüseyin Sabri in Taşköprü, the birthplace, as Tezkire-i Mali Kalemi mülazımı. Hüseyin Sabri then moved to Kastamonu and Bolu from 1890 to 1900. Alongside, the lists for 1899 to 1901 give a second post, in Afyonkarahisar as Ziraat Bankası şube memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1900 to 1905 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Ziraat Bankası müfettişi. Alongside, the lists for 1904 to 1910 give a second post, in Adana as Ziraat Bankası şube memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1909 to 1911 give a second post, in Cebeli bereket as Sancak Muhasebecisi, with a rise to Sancak Muhasebecisi. Alongside, the lists for 1910/11 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Sancak Muhasebecisi. Few officials served in as many places; fewer than 8 per cent of the 6,605 officials with a place of service did.

Pay rose from 400 kuruş a month in 1890/91 to a peak of 2,000 in 1900/01, when 93 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1910/11.

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.
