Life and register readings

The life of Ömer Hulusi Efendi began in 1879/80 (AH 1297). Work began in Bursa in 1898/99, at about 18, on a first salary of 190 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1898/99, places Ömer Hulusi in Bursa as Düyûn-ı Umûmiye müdüriyeti muvakkit müzayede kâtibi, mülazım. Alongside, the lists for 1898 to 1901 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Muvakkat müzayede kâtibi. The lists give Infisal for 1898 to 1900 instead of a title.

Pay rose from 190 kuruş a month in 1898/99 to a peak of 250 in 1899/1900, when 21 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over three years the salaries add up to 8,280 kuruş, 57 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. 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.
