Life and register readings

The life of OSMAN KUDDUSĠ EFENDĠ began in Antalya in 1844/45 (AH 1260). OSMAN KUDDUSĠ EFENDĠ began work in 1866/67, at about 22, on a first salary of 500 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1866/67, with OSMAN KUDDUSĠ EFENDĠ as Kaza Muduru and no place named. Next came Adana in 1872/73. Alongside, the lists for 1872 to 1877 give a second post, in Gülnar as a district governor (Kaymakam), with a rise to Kaymakam. Alongside, the lists for 1876/77 give a second post, in Ermenek as Kaymakam. Alongside, the lists for 1876/77 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Nahiye Muduru. The annual lists then follow OSMAN KUDDUSĠ EFENDĠ to Gürün from 1877 to 1883. Alongside, the lists for 1882/83 give a second post, in Simav as Kaymakam. Alongside, the lists for 1882 to 1886 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Kaymakam. Alongside, the lists for 1885 to 1890 give a second post, in Yenişehir as Kaymakam. Few officials served in as many places; fewer than 8 per cent of the 6,605 officials with a place of service did.

Pay rose from 500 kuruş a month in 1866/67 to a peak of 1,750 in 1877/78, as Kaymakam in Gürün, when 88 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1889/90.
