Life and register readings

Osman Midhad Bey was born in Afyonkarahisar (Karahisar-ı Sahib); the father's occupation was "Kaymakam (mazul)". Work began in 1899/1900 (AH 1317), on a first salary of 240 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1899/1900, names Osman Midhad as Nahiye müdürü vekili, with no place. Osman Midhad then moved to Erenköy in 1901/02. The last entries, from 1902 to 1907, name Osman Midhad as Nahiye Muduru, with no place.

The salary went from 240 kuruş a month in 1899/1900 to 504 in 1902/03, the peak, as Nahiye Muduru, when 63 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1906/07.

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.
