Life and register readings
İbrahim Efendi was born in Bosna in 1886/87 (AH 1304); the father's occupation was "Ziraat". At about 21, in 1908/09, İbrahim began work in Edirne, on a first salary of 800 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1908/09, with İbrahim as Umur-ı Nafia mühendisi in Edirne, where the entries run to 1911. Alongside, the lists for 1911 give a second post, in Gelibolu as Sancak mühendisi. Alongside, the lists for 1911 to 1913 give a second post, in Istanbul as On Altıncı Daire-i Belediye mühendisi.
The salary went from 800 kuruş a month in 1908/09 to 1,500 in 1911, the peak, in Gelibolu, when 73 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, six years of salary come to 85,200 kuruş, 1.7 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1912/13.
