Life and register readings

The life of İbrahim Vehbi Efendi began in Bosna; the father's occupation was "Kunduracı". İbrahim Vehbi began work in Mytilene (Midilli) in 1889/90 (AH 1307), on a first salary of 150 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1889/90, places İbrahim Vehbi in Mytilene as Rüsumat müdüriyeti kolcusu, where the entries run to 1892/93. Alongside, the lists for 1896 to 1898 give a second post, in Mytilene as Düyun-ı Umumiye Nezareti tahrirat mümeyyiz-i sânisi.

Pay rose from 150 kuruş a month in 1889/90 to a peak of 300 in 1896/97, in Mytilene, when 26 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over six years the salaries add up to 14,400 kuruş, 48 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1897/98.

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.
