Osman Avni 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 Osman Avni Efendi began in Kemaliye (Eğin). The first annual entry, for 1870/71 (AH 1287), places Osman Avni in Erzincan as Tahrir-i Emlak Kalemi seyyar mukayyidi, where the entries run to 1872/73. The lists have no entry for 1873 to 1877. The annual lists then follow Osman Avni to Ovacık in 1877/78. Alongside, the lists for 1877 to 1880 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Aşar birinci katibi.

The salary went from 250 kuruş a month in 1870/71 to 500 in 1877/78, the peak, when 54 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1879/80.

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.
