Life and register readings

MUHEMMED EFENDİ was born in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1856/57 (AH 1273). Work began in Kirkuk in 1871/72, at about 15. The first annual entry, for 1871/72, places MUHEMMED in Kirkuk, the birthplace, as mülazım (muhasebe kalemi), where the entries run to 1888/89. For 1889 to 1891 the lists have no entry. The annual lists then follow MUHEMMED to Mosul (Musul) from 1891 to 1906. Alongside, the lists for 1905 to 1907 give a second post, in Erbil as Mal Muduru. Alongside, the lists for 1906/07 give a second post, in Kirkuk as muhasebeci vekili. Alongside, the lists for 1906 to 1908 give a second post, in a post with no place named as istifa (İnfisal).

Pay rose from 95 kuruş a month in 1872/73 to a peak of 605 in 1881/82, in Kirkuk, when 72 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 31 years the salaries add up to 173,520 kuruş, 1.1 times what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1907/08.

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.
