Life and register readings

Hüseyin Hüsnü Efendi was born in Bursa in 1871/72 (AH 1288) into the İslam community; the father was a merchant (tüccar). Work began in Bursa in 1892/93, at about 21, on a first salary of 300 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1892/93, places Hüseyin Hüsnü in Bursa, the birthplace, as Bursa belediyesi sandık emâneti. The lists have no entry for 1893 to 1900. The last entry, for 1900/01, names Hüseyin Hüsnü as Kapudağı vergi kitâbeti, with no place. In place of a title the lists give Infisal for 1892/93.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 300 kuruş a month in 1892/93, in Bursa, when 27 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1900/01.

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.
