Life and register readings

Born in Antakya in 1869/70 (AH 1286), Hüseyin Lebib Efendi was the child of a tradesman (esnaf). Hüseyin Lebib began work in Antakya in 1889/90, at about 20. The first annual entry, for 1889/90, places Hüseyin Lebib in Antakya, the birthplace, as Düyun-ı Umumiye stajyeri, where the entries run to 1894/95. Alongside, the lists for 1891/92 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Muvakkat Muhafaza Memuru. The last posts were in Gaziantep (Antep) from 1894 to 1897 and Samandağ (Süveydiye) in 1898/99.

The salary went from 250 kuruş a month in 1891/92 to 370 in 1895/96, the peak, in Gaziantep, when 43 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1898/99.

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.
