Life and register readings

Salahaddin Efendi was born in Istanbul in 1882/83 (AH 1300); the father's occupation was "Sandalcı". Work began in Istanbul in 1899/1900, at about 16. The annual lists begin in 1899/1900, with Salahaddin as kalem mülazımı in Istanbul, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1905/06, with a rise to fair-copy clerk (Mübeyyiz) in 1902/03. The last entries, from 1906 to 1911, name Salahaddin as Sahil Muhafaza Memuru, with no place.

Pay rose from 20 kuruş a month in 1901/02 to a peak of 400 in 1910/11, when 31 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over ten years the salaries add up to 23,520 kuruş, 44 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1910/11.

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.
