Annual salary study and register readings

This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

The life of Ömer Dursun Bey began in Kemah; the father's occupation was "Kemah kazası meclis-i idare azası". Ömer Dursun began work in Kemah in 1889/90 (AH 1307), on a first salary of 500 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1889/90, with Ömer Dursun as memleha müdüriyeti muvakkat sandık emini in Kemah, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1895/96. The lists have no entry for 1892 to 1895. Alongside, the lists for 1898/99 give a second post, in Kemah as meclis-i idare azası.

The salary went from 500 kuruş a month in 1889/90 to 1,500 in 1891/92, the peak, in Kemah, when 88 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over three years the salaries add up to 32,400 kuruş, 2.2 times what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1899/1900.

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.
