Life and register readings

Ömer Lütfi Efendi was born in Bosna ve Hersek in 1891/92 (AH 1309). The first annual entry, for 1905/06, names Ömer Lütfi as Tunca Nehri Kanal Ameliyatı geçici kondüktörü, with no place. Alongside, the lists for 1905 to 1910 give a second post, in Edirne as Vilayet kondüktörü. The last entry, for 1910/11, names Ömer Lütfi as Üçüncü sınıf vilayet kondüktörü, with no place. In place of a title the lists give Mazuliyet for 1909/10.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 500 kuruş a month in 1905/06, in Edirne, when 52 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1910/11.

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.
