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

OSMAN EFENDİ was born in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1862/63 (AH 1279). The schooling was at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi). At about 25, in 1887/88, OSMAN began work, on a first salary of 200 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1887/88, with OSMAN as anbar memuru and no place named.

Pay rose from 200 kuruş a month in 1887/88 to a peak of 250 in 1895/96, when one in five paid officials earned less. Over seven years the salaries add up to 14,640 kuruş, 43 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1895/96.

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.
