Life and register readings

The life of Hüseyin Sinan Efendi began in Bilecik in 1870/71 (AH 1287); the father's occupation was "Hamamcı". The first annual entry, for 1886/87, places Hüseyin Sinan in Ertugrul as İdare Meclisi ikinci kâtipliği. The lists have no entry for 1887 to 1890. From 1890 to 1911 the annual entries place Hüseyin Sinan in İnegöl. For 1893 to 1911 the lists have no entry.

The salary went from 50 kuruş a month in 1886/87 to 400 in 1911, the peak, in İnegöl, when 26 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over five years the salaries add up to 12,600 kuruş, 47 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1911.

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.
