Life and register readings

Born in Komotini (Gümülcine) in 1875/76 (AH 1292), HÜSEYİN HÜSNÜ EFENDİ (A) was the child of a farmer (çiftçi). At about 21, in 1896/97, HÜSEYİN HÜSNÜ (A) began work. The first annual entry, for 1896/97, names HÜSEYİN HÜSNÜ (A) as İkinci Ordu Telgraf Bölüğü askeri, with no place.

Pay rose from 100 kuruş a month in 1906/07 to a peak of 150 in 1908/09, when 7 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, three years of salary come to 4,200 kuruş, 26 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1908/09.

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.
