Life and register readings

ÖMER LÜTFÜ EFENDİ was born in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1868/69 (AH 1285). At about 17, in 1885/86, ÖMER LÜTFÜ began work in Zor, on a first salary of 0 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1885/86, with ÖMER LÜTFÜ as Muhasebe kalemi mülazımı in Zor, where the entries run to 1889/90. The lists have no entry for 1890 to 1899. Alongside, the lists for 1888 to 1890 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Askerlik. ÖMER LÜTFÜ then moved to Zor in 1899/1900. Alongside, the lists for 1899/1900 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Muhasebe masraf kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1899 to 1901 give a second post, in Basra as Muhasebe evrak muavini. The last posts were in Zor again from 1901 to 1908.

Pay rose from 0 kuruş a month in 1885/86 to a peak of 748.5 in 1899/1900, when 76 per cent of paid officials earned less. The peak lasted a single year; the next list gives 600 kuruş. The final annual entry is for 1907/08.
