Life#
Tatar Ağası Zade Hafız Abdullah Efendi was born in Kemah in 1847/48 (AH 1264). The record gives the community as Muslim (Müslüman) and the nationality as Turkish.
Schooling recorded: Sıbyan Mektebi, with 4 years of schooling recorded. The record marks no qualification (diploma, certificate, training or decoration). Languages recorded, with the skill words of the record: Turkish, with Kitabet.
First work is recorded in Amasya in 1867/68 (AH 1284). The official was then about 19 years old. The record gives 2 years of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 300 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1869/70, the official was about 21 years old.
The first annual entry, for 1869/70, shows Muhabere Memuru in Mecitözü, with 300 kuruş a month. In 1882/83 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Sivas, the salary going from 380 to 500 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Mecitözü). In 1897/98 the record shows 2. Müdür in Gümüşhacıköy, the salary going from 700 to 1,100 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Sivas).
The highest salary, 1,100 kuruş a month, is first recorded in 1897/98 as 2. Müdür. 93 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less. The median salary of all officials that year was 500 kuruş. Over 30 years with a salary the median is 500 kuruş a month, with 7 rises and 1 cut. The largest rise, 400 kuruş, is seen in 1897/98. From the first salary to the last the salary grew by 4.58 per cent a year on average.
A death is recorded under 1898/99 (AH 1316): the year of the annual list that holds the status word Vefat, not a date of death.
