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

Ömer Lütfi Bey was born in Ürgüp in 1871/72 (AH 1288); the father's occupation was "Bayındır eski kaymakamı". At about 23, in 1894/95, Ömer Lütfi began work, on a first salary of 500 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1894/95, names Ömer Lütfi as Vilayet maiyet memuru, with no place. Alongside, the lists for 1896/97 give a second post, in Eşme as Kaymakam vekili.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 500 kuruş a month in 1894/95, when 55 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1897/98.

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.
