Annual salary study and register readings

This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

The life of Yervant Efendi began in Bandırma in 1864/65 (AH 1281); the father's occupation was "Rusçuk Hastahanesi sertabibi, miralay". At about 19, in 1883/84, Yervant began work in Istanbul, on a first salary of 300 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1883/84, with Yervant as Polis merkez memuru in Istanbul, where the entries run to 1890/91. Alongside, the lists for 1890/91 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Dahiliye Nezareti Nüfus Umum İdaresi Galata Mürür Şubesi mülazımı.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 300 kuruş a month in 1883/84, in Istanbul, when 28 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1890/91.

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.
