Hüseyin Naci Efendi

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

The life of Hüseyin Naci Efendi began in Giresun. The annual lists begin in 1874/75 (AH 1291), with Hüseyin Naci as Aşar kâtibi in Giresun, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1877/78. The lists have no entry for 1875 to 1877. At the same time, from 1878 to 1894, the lists also place Hüseyin Naci in Giresun as Aşar İdaresi ikinci kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1879 to 1881 give a second post, in Tirebolu as Aşar başkâtibi. The last entries, from 1882 to 1884, name Hüseyin Naci as Sertahsildar, with no place.

The salary went from 300 kuruş a month in 1874/75 to 600 in 1877/78, the peak, in Giresun, when 63 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1893/94.

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.
