Life and register readings

SÜLEYMAN SAMİ EFENDİ was born in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1829/30 (AH 1245). The schooling was at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi). SÜLEYMAN SAMİ began work in 1849/50, at about 20, on a first salary of 150 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1849/50, with SÜLEYMAN SAMİ as Tahrirat refakati and no place named. Alongside, the lists for 1878 to 1886 give a second post, in Mosul as Evrak müdür muavini, with a rise to Evrak Muduru in 1879/80.

Pay rose from 150 kuruş a month in 1849/50 to a peak of 900 in 1885/86, as Evrak Muduru in Mosul, when four in five paid officials earned less. In all, 34 years of salary come to 155,772 kuruş, 89 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1885/86.
