Life and register readings

YASİN SIDKKI EFENDİ was born in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1860/61 (AH 1277). The schooling was at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi). At about 12, in 1872/73, YASİN SIDKKI began work in Kirkuk, on a first salary of 0 kuruş. Few began so young; fewer than 3 per cent of the 5,664 officials whose age at first work is known started at 12 or younger. The first annual entry, for 1872/73, places YASİN SIDKKI in Kirkuk, the birthplace, as muhasebe kalemi mülazımı. The lists have no entry for 1873 to 1875. Alongside, the lists for 1875 to 1877 give a second post, in Kirkuk in the accounts office (Muhasebe Kalemi). The annual lists then follow YASİN SIDKKI to Mosul (Musul) from 1878 to 1881. Alongside, the lists for 1879/80 give a second post, in Kirkuk as ağnam-ı mektume ihracı memuru. From 1882 to 1897 every annual entry places YASİN SIDKKI in Istanbul. In place of a title the lists give Vefat (death) for 1901/02.

Pay rose from 0 kuruş a month in 1872/73 to a peak of 700 in 1892/93, in Istanbul, when 73 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 20 years of salary come to 113,280 kuruş, 1.2 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1901/02.

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.
