Life and register readings

Kamil Efendi was born in Sarajevo (Saraybosna) in 1869/70 (AH 1286). At about 13, in 1881/82, Kamil began work. Few began so young; fewer than 5 per cent of the 5,664 officials whose age at first work is known started at 13 or younger. The annual lists begin in 1881/82, with Kamil as Vilayet Mektubi Kalemi mülazımı and no place named. The lists have no entry for 1882 to 1884 and 1885 to 1889. Alongside, the lists for 1891 to 1896 give a second post, in Edremit as Tahrirat kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1895 to 1901 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Tahrirat kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1900 to 1902 give a second post, in Mustafakemalpaşa as Tahrirat kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1901 to 1904 give a second post, in Söğüt as Sandık emini. Alongside, the lists for 1903 to 1907 give a second post, in Zlatograd as Reji Memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1906 to 1911 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Tahrirat kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1909 to 1911 give a second post, in Mudanya as Tahrirat kâtibi.

Pay rose from 340 kuruş a month in 1890/91 to a peak of 1,250 in 1910/11, when 78 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1910/11.
