Life and register readings

The life of MUHAMMED SAKİN EFENDİ began in 1879/80 (AH 1297); the father's occupation was "Kerkük telgraf ve posta merkezi müdürü". MUHAMMED SAKİN began work in Cizre in 1888/89, at about 9. Few began so young; 29 of the 5,664 officials whose age at first work is known started at 9 or younger. The annual lists begin in 1888/89, with MUHAMMED SAKİN as telgraf mülazımı in Cizre, where the entries run to 1894/95. Alongside, the lists for 1894 to 1906 give a second post, in a post with no place named as muhaberat-ı ecnebiyye memuru. The lists have no entry for 1900 to 1905.

Pay rose from 270 kuruş a month in 1894/95 to a peak of 2,000 in 1905/06, when 92 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1905/06.

Places in order of time
