Life and register readings

Zeynel Efendi was born in Shkodër (İşkodra) in 1878/79 (AH 1296). At about 18, in 1897/98, Zeynel began work. The first annual entry, for 1897/98, names Zeynel as Trablusgarb Rüsumat Nezareti Tahrirat Kalemi mülazımı, with no place.

The salary went from 150 kuruş a month in 1898/99 to 200 in 1901/02, the peak, when 14 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, four years of salary come to 7,800 kuruş, 40 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1901/02.
