Life and register readings

ÖMER AVNİ EFENDİ was born in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1860/61 (AH 1277). At about 10, in 1870/71, ÖMER AVNİ began work in Kirkuk. Only 47 of the 5,664 officials whose age at first work is known began work at 10 or younger. The first annual entry, for 1870/71, places ÖMER AVNİ in Kirkuk, the birthplace, as Tahrirat kalemi mülazımı, where the entries run to 1878/79. The last entries, from 1879 to 1888, name ÖMER AVNİ as Muhasebe kalemi masalih-i cariye kitabeti refiki, with no place.

The salary went from 70 kuruş a month in 1874/75 to 105 in 1887/88, the peak, when 6 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 14 years of salary come to 15,930 kuruş, 23 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1887/88.

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.
