Life and register readings

MUHAMMET BEHCET EFENDİ was born in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1867/68 (AH 1284), into the İslam community. At about 20, in 1887/88, MUHAMMET BEHCET began work, on a first salary of 125 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1887/88, names MUHAMMET BEHCET as nüfus kâtibi, with no place. For 1893 to 1896 the lists have no entry. In place of a title the lists give Infisal for 1892/93.

The salary went from 125 kuruş a month in 1887/88 to 250 in 1900/01, the peak, when 21 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 11 years the salaries add up to 18,000 kuruş, 33 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1900/01.
