Life#
Kazmir Efendi was born in Polonya in 1856/57 (AH 1273). The record gives the community as Christian (Hristiyan), the nationality as Polonyali and the father's occupation as ciftci.
Schooling recorded: Sen Petersburg Mektebi, with 7 years of schooling recorded. The record marks no qualification (diploma, certificate, training or decoration). Languages recorded, with the skill words of the record: French, with Kitabet; Italian, with kitabet; Turkish, with Kitabet.
First work is recorded in Aleppo (Halep) in 1878 (AH 1295). The official was then about 21 years old. The record gives 1 year of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 200 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1878/79, the official was about 22 years old.
The first annual entry, for 1878/79, shows Memur in Aleppo, with 200 kuruş a month. In 1879/80 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in İskenderun, the salary going from 200 to 385 kuruş a month (before: Memur in Aleppo). In 1880/81 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Aleppo, with 385 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in İskenderun). In 1882/83 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Konya, the salary going from 385 to 500 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Aleppo). In 1888/89 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Diyarbakır, with 500 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Konya). No annual entry is recorded for 1889/90.
The highest salary, 575 kuruş a month, is first recorded in 1890/91 as Muhabere Memuru. 59 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less. The median salary of all officials that year was 500 kuruş. Over 15 years with a salary the median is 500 kuruş a month, with 3 rises and no cuts. The largest rise, 185 kuruş, is seen in 1879/80. From the first salary to the last the salary grew by 7.29 per cent a year on average. The last salary is recorded in 1893/94, when 59 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less.
A death is recorded under 1894/95 (AH 1312): the year of the annual list that holds the status word Vefat, not a date of death.
