Life and register readings

Born in Istanbul in 1861/62 (AH 1278), Osman Neşet Efendi was the child of an army captain (yüzbaşı). Osman Neşet began work in Beirut (Beyrut) in 1888/89, at about 27. Every annual entry from 1888/89 to 1890/91 places Osman Neşet in the same post, Gümrük İdaresi stajyeri, in Beirut.

Pay rose from 400 kuruş a month in 1889/90 to a peak of 500 in 1890/91, in Beirut, when 56 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1890/91.

Places in order of time
