Life and register readings

ZEYNÜLABİDİN EFENDİ was born in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1862/63 (AH 1279). At about 20, in 1882/83, ZEYNÜLABİDİN began work. The first annual entry, for 1882/83, places ZEYNÜLABİDİN in Kirkuk, the birthplace, as Telgraf mülazımı, where the entries run to 1885/86. Alongside, the lists for 1885 to 1897 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Telgraf muhabere memuru.

The salary went from 285 kuruş a month in 1885/86 to 700 in 1895/96, the peak, when 72 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1896/97.

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.
