Life#
Abdürrauf Efendi was born in Skopje (Üsküp) in 1874/75 (AH 1291). The record gives the community as Muslim (Müslüman), the nationality as Turkish and the father's occupation as Ketebe.
Schooling recorded: Rüşdiye Mektebi, with 7 years of schooling recorded. The record marks no qualification (diploma, certificate, training or decoration). Languages recorded, with the skill words of the record: Bulgarian, with Tekellum; Turkish, with Kitabet.
First work is recorded in Skopje in 1888/89 (AH 1306). The official was then about 15 years old. The record gives 3 years of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 200 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1891/92, the official was about 17 years old.
The first annual entry, for 1891/92, shows Posta Memuru in Skopje, with 200 kuruş a month. In 1893/94 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Prizren, the salary going from 200 to 380 kuruş a month (before: Posta Memuru in Skopje).
