Life and register readings

ŞÜKRÜ EFEND İ was born in Muğla in 1873/74 (AH 1290). At about 21, in 1894/95, ŞÜKRÜ İ began work, on a first salary of 200 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1894/95, names ŞÜKRÜ İ as Rüsumat İdaresi kolcusu, with no place, with a rise to customs official (Rüsumat Memuru) in 1897/98. The lists have no entry for 1895 to 1897 and 1898 to 1905. The last posts were in Kunfuda from 1905 to 1911, with a rise to Rüsumat Müdüriyeti başkâtibi. Kunfuda, about 2,350 km from Muğla, was the post farthest from the birthplace; fewer than 2 per cent of the 5,339 officials with a known birthplace and place of service served as far from home.

Pay rose from 200 kuruş a month in 1894/95 to a peak of 550 in 1910/11, in Kunfuda, when 52 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1910/11.
