Life and register readings

Hüsnü Bey was born in Mida; the father's occupation was "Karahisar-ı Sâhib sancağı mutasarrıfı". The first annual entry, for 1887/88 (AH 1305), places Hüsnü in Acre (Akka) as Bidayet Mahkemesi aza mülazımı, where the entries run to 1891/92. Alongside, the lists for 1891 to 1903 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Nahiye müdür vekili. For 1894 to 1896 the lists have no entry. The lists have no entry for 1897 to 1901.

The salary went from 270 kuruş a month in 1887/88 to 875 in 1893/94, the peak, when four in five paid officials earned less. That salary was paid for a single year, and the next list gives 450 kuruş. The last annual entry is for 1902/03.

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.
