Life and register readings

The life of Ömer Fevzi Efendi began in Antakya in 1878/79 (AH 1296). Work began in Istanbul in 1897/98, at about 18. From the first annual entry, for 1897/98, to 1900/01, every annual entry places Ömer Fevzi in the same post, Dahiliye Nezareti Umumiye İdaresi stajyeri, in Istanbul. The lists give Vefat (death) for 1902/03 instead of a title.

The salary went from 50 kuruş a month in 1897/98 to 145 in 1900/01, the peak, in Istanbul, when one in ten paid officials earned less. In all, four years of salary come to 5,220 kuruş, 27 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final 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.
