Ömer 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 Ömer Efendi began in Safranbolu in 1873/74 (AH 1290). The personnel record dates the first work in Istanbul to 1901/02, after the first annual entry, on a first salary of 120 kuruş. From the first annual entry, for 1894/95, to 1911, every annual entry places Ömer in the same post, Jandarma (askerlik kaydı), in Istanbul.

The salary went from 120 kuruş a month in 1901/02 to 150 in 1911, the peak, in Istanbul, when 2 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 11 years the salaries add up to 16,200 kuruş, 26 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1911.

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.
