Life and register readings

Seyyid Abdulgani Efendi was born in Medina (Medine) in 1862/63 (AH 1279) into the İslam community; the father's occupation was "Mevlevi şeyhi". Work began in Medina in 1884/85, at about 22. The annual lists begin in 1884/85, with Abdulgani as Hazine-i Nebevi Muhasebe Kalemi mülazımı in Medina, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1894/95. At the same time, from 1894 to 1897, the lists also place Abdulgani in Yanbu (Yenbuülbahr) as Sandık ve şevne emini. The last post was in Medina again in 1897/98.

Pay rose from 350 kuruş a month in 1894/95 to a peak of 540 in 1897/98, in Medina, when two in three paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1897/98.
