Annual salary study and register readings

This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

The life of Veysel Efendi began in Muradiye (Bargiri) in 1872/73 (AH 1289). Veysel began work in 1894/95, at about 22, on a first salary of 300 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1894/95, with Veysel as İhtiyat Daireleri Bölüğü polis neferi and no place named.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 300 kuruş a month in 1894/95, when 28 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over seven years the salaries add up to 25,200 kuruş, 73 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1902/03.

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.
