Life and register readings

Born in Shkodër (İşkodra) in 1844/45 (AH 1260), Ömer Yümni Efendi was the child of a clerk (katip). At about 17, in 1861/62, Ömer Yümni began work in Shkodër. The annual lists begin in 1861/62, with Ömer Yümni as Muhasebe Kalemi mülazımı in Shkodër, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1880/81. Alongside, the lists for 1880/81 give a second post, in Durrës as Sancak Tahrirat Müdürü, with a rise to Sancak Tahrirat Müdürü.

Pay rose from 150 kuruş a month in 1861/62 to a peak of 1,250 in 1880/81, in Durrës, when 86 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 21 years of salary come to 150,480 kuruş, 1.4 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1880/81.
