Life and register readings

The life of İSMAİL HAKKI EFENDİ began in Biga in 1872/73 (AH 1289). Work began in Thessaloniki (Selanik) in 1891/92, at about 19. The annual lists begin in 1891/92, with İSMAİL HAKKI as Gönüllü asker; başçavuş in Thessaloniki, where the entries run to 1897/98. Next came a return to Biga, the birthplace, from 1898 to 1907. At the same time, from 1906/07, the lists also place İSMAİL HAKKI in Ezine as Nüfus memuru.

Pay rose from 125 kuruş a month in 1898/99 to a peak of 250 in 1900/01, in Biga, when 21 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, nine years of salary come to 24,000 kuruş, 54 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1906/07.
