Life and register readings

The life of Hüseyin Hüsnü Efendi began in Çemişgezek in 1853/54 (AH 1270). Hüseyin Hüsnü studied at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi). At about 27, in 1880/81, Hüseyin Hüsnü began work, on a first salary of 100 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1880/81, names Hüseyin Hüsnü as Tahrir kalemi deftercisi, with no place.

Pay rose from 100 kuruş a month in 1880/81 to a peak of 300 in 1884/85, when 28 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over five years the salaries add up to 10,200 kuruş, 42 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1884/85.

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.
