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

Born in Hüdâvendigâr vilâyeti'nde Atranos kasabası in 1873/74 (AH 1290), Ömer Efendi came from the İslam community. Ömer began work in 1889/90, at about 16. The first annual entry, for 1889/90, names Ömer as Mulazemet, with no place. The lists give İstifa (resignation) for 1892/93 instead of a title.

The salary went from 60 kuruş a month in 1894/95 to 125 in 1895/96, the peak, when 7 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1895/96.

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.
