Life#
Halil Efendi was born in Istanbul in 1841/42 (AH 1257). The record gives the community as Muslim (Müslüman) and the nationality as Turkish.
Schooling recorded: Rüşdiye Mektebi, with 7 years of schooling recorded. The record marks no qualification (diploma, certificate, training or decoration). Languages recorded, with the skill words of the record: Turkish, with Kitabet.
First work is recorded in Istanbul in 1863/64 (AH 1280). The official was then about 22 years old. The record gives 1 year of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 570 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1864/65, the official was about 23 years old.
The first annual entry, for 1864/65, shows Muhabere Memuru in Tekirdağ, with 570 kuruş a month. In 1865/66 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Çanakkale, the salary going from 570 to 720 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Tekirdağ). In 1866/67 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Ezine, the salary going from 720 to 800 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Çanakkale).

The median salary of all officials that year was 600 kuruş. Over 37 years with a salary the median is 600 kuruş a month, with 4 rises and 3 cuts. The largest rise, 150 kuruş, is seen in 1865/66.

The last salary is recorded in 1899/1900, when 60 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less.
