Life and register readings

The life of Parunak Küçükyan Efendi began in Tamzara in 1869/70 (AH 1286); the father's occupation was "Tamzara Nahiyesi Müdürü". Parunak Küçükyan began work in 1888/89, at about 19. The first annual entry, for 1888/89, names Parunak Küçükyan as Düyun-ı Umumiye memuru, with no place. For 1890 to 1895 the lists have no entry. The last posts were in Tirebolu in 1895/96 and Sinop in 1899/1900. The lists have no entry for 1896 to 1899.

Pay rose from 200 kuruş a month in 1895/96 to a peak of 250 in 1899/1900, in Sinop, when 21 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1899/1900.

Places in order of time
