Life and register readings

The life of Süleyman Sırrı Efendi began in Burdur in 1884/85 (AH 1302). The first annual entry, for 1907/08, names Süleyman Sırrı as Sandık muhasebe kâtibi ikinci refakati, with no place.

Pay rose from 200 kuruş a month in 1907/08 to a peak of 500 in 1911, when 38 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over five years the salaries add up to 17,520 kuruş, 57 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1911/12.

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.
