Life and register readings

Born in Komotini (Gümülcine) in 1876/77 (AH 1293), HÜSEYİN HÜSNÜ EFENDİ (B) was the child of a tradesman (esnaf). At about 12, in 1887/88, HÜSEYİN HÜSNÜ (B) began work in Komotini. Few began so young; fewer than 3 per cent of the 5,664 officials whose age at first work is known started at 12 or younger. The first annual entry, for 1887/88, places HÜSEYİN HÜSNÜ (B) in Komotini, the birthplace, as Gümülcine Sancağı Tahrirat Kalemi mülazımı, where the entries run to 1909/10. Alongside, the lists for 1894/95 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Nakil.

The salary went from 25 kuruş a month in 1888/89 to 1,000 in 1909/10, the peak, in Komotini, when 68 per cent of paid officials earned less. Pay rose to 40 times the first salary; fewer than 5 per cent of the 2,724 officials paid for ten years or more rose as far. The last annual entry is for 1909/10.

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.
