Life and register readings

Ömer Feyzi Efendi was born in Bilât in 1853/54 (AH 1270), into the İslam community. At about 17, in 1871/72, Ömer Feyzi began work in Feke. The annual lists begin in 1871/72, with Ömer Feyzi as Mal yazı işleri stajyeri in Feke, where the entries run to 1875/76. Alongside, the lists for 1875 to 1881 give a second post, in Saimbeyli as Vergi sayım memuru ve ek kâtiplik. Next came Mersin in 1882/83 and Adana in 1886/87. For 1883 to 1886 and 1887 to 1889 the lists have no entry. The last posts were in Kastamonu from 1889 to 1897.

The salary went from 100 kuruş a month in 1872/73 to 1,250 in 1889/90, the peak, in Kastamonu, when 86 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 17 years the salaries add up to 156,300 kuruş, 1.8 times what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1896/97.
