Life and register readings

OSMAN EFENDİ was born in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1858/59 (AH 1275); the father was a merchant (tüccar). Work began in Kirkuk in 1878, at about 19, on a first salary of 0 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1878, with OSMAN as Mülazım (muhasebe kalemi) in Kirkuk, the birthplace. At the same time, from 1883 to 1889, the lists also place OSMAN in Karbala (Kerbela) as Mülazım (bidayet mahkemesi kalemi). Alongside, the lists for 1888 to 1893 give a second post, in Hillah as Meclis-i idare katibi. Alongside, the lists for 1892 to 1894 give a second post, in Zor as Mülazım (meclis-i idare kalemi). OSMAN then moved to Hama from 1895 to 1897. Alongside, the lists for 1896/97 give a second post, in a post with no place named as İstinaf mahkemesi başkatibi. Next came Nablus from 1897 to 1899. Alongside, the lists for 1898 to 1901 give a second post, in Jerusalem as Bidayet mahkemesi müstantığı. The annual lists then follow OSMAN to Nablus from 1901 to 1903. Alongside, the lists for 1902 to 1906 give a second post, in Mosul as Merkez bidayet mahkemesi birinci müstantığı. The last post was in Adana in 1906/07.

Pay rose from 0 kuruş a month in 1878 to a peak of 1,000 in 1896/97, when four in five paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1906/07.
