Hüseyin Hüsnü Efendi

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

The life of Hüseyin Hüsnü Efendi began in Kızılcaviran köyü in 1868/69 (AH 1285); the father's occupation was "Hariciye memuru (kavas)". The first annual entry, for 1889/90, names Hüseyin Hüsnü as Katip, with no place.

Pay rose from 250 kuruş a month in 1889/90 to a peak of 940 in 1907/08, when 76 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1907/08.

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.
