Life and register readings

Oskehan Pertev Efendi was born in Erzincan into the Hristiyan community; the father's occupation was "bezzaz". The annual lists begin in 1882/83 (AH 1300), with Oskehan Pertev as tahrirat kalemi mülazımı (Nakil) in Erzincan, the birthplace. The lists have no entry for 1883 to 1888. Next came Erzurum in 1888/89. Alongside, the lists for 1888 to 1893 give a second post, in a post with no place named as memlaha idare başkatibi. From 1893 to 1897 the annual entries place Oskehan Pertev in Baghdad (Bağdat).

The salary went from 350 kuruş a month in 1882/83 to 1,400 in 1896/97, the peak, in Baghdad, when 87 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over ten years the salaries add up to 95,400 kuruş, 2 times what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1896/97.

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.
