Life and register readings

The life of MUHAMMET SALİH EFENDİ began in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1870/71 (AH 1287); the father's occupation was "Jandarma çavuşu (mütekaid)". The first annual entry, for 1891/92, names MUHAMMET SALİH as Ağnam kâtibi, with no place. MUHAMMET SALİH then moved to Hammar from 1895 to 1899. Alongside, the lists for 1898 to 1900 give a second post, in Al-Shatrah as Şatra mukataa-i seniyesi kâtibi.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 300 kuruş a month in 1894/95, when 28 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, six years of salary come to 21,600 kuruş, 73 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1899/1900.

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.
