Life and register readings

MUHAMMED EMİN EFENDİ was born in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1857/58 (AH 1274). Work began in 1878/79, at about 21, on a first salary of 140 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1878/79, names MUHAMMED EMİN as nahiye kâtibi, with no place, with a rise to Baskatip in 1890/91. MUHAMMED EMİN then moved to Musayyib (Müseyyib) from 1892 to 1898. The lists have no entry for 1893 to 1897. Alongside, the lists for 1897 to 1903 give a second post, in a post with no place named as emlak-ı hümayun memuru. For 1903 to 1908 the lists have no entry. Alongside, the lists for 1902/03 give a second post, in Kifri as emlak-ı hümayun memuru. The last entries, from 1908 to 1910, name MUHAMMED EMİN as emlak-ı hümayun muhasebecisi, with no place.

Pay rose from 140 kuruş a month in 1878/79 to a peak of 2,000 in 1908/09, when nine in ten paid officials earned less. In all, 23 years of salary come to 272,310 kuruş, 2.4 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1909/10.

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.
