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 Erzincan, Hüseyin Hüsnü Efendi came from the İslam community; the father's occupation was "Kolağası (Piyade 30. Alay 2. Tabur)". The personnel record dates the first work to 1890/91 (AH 1308), after the first annual entry, on a first salary of 80 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1885/86, names Hüseyin Hüsnü as Asker (8. Nişancı Taburu 3. Bölük), with no place. The lists have no entry for 1886 to 1890 and 1891 to 1904.

The salary went from 80 kuruş a month in 1890/91 to 320 in 1904/05, the peak, when 36 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1904/05.

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.
