Life and register readings

The life of SEYİT HÜSEYİN EFENDİ began in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1842/43 (AH 1258). Work began in 1862/63, at about 20. The annual lists begin in 1862/63, with HÜSEYİN as tahrirat kalemi mülazımı and no place named. For 1863 to 1866, 1869 to 1872 and 1873 to 1877 the lists have no entry.

Pay rose from 100 kuruş a month in 1866/67 to a peak of 300 in 1868/69, when 27 per cent of paid officials earned less. That salary was paid for a single year, and the next list gives 250 kuruş. In all, five years of salary come to 12,780 kuruş, 48 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1879/80.

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.
