Life and register readings

İsmail Hakkı Efendi was born in Bursa, into the İslam community, and the father's occupation was "Aşar mültezimi". Work began in Izmir (İzmir) in 1880/81 (AH 1298). The annual lists begin in 1880/81, with İsmail Hakkı as İzmir vilâyeti aşar kalemi (mülazemet) in Izmir. Alongside, the lists for 1880/81 give a second post, in Karaburun as Karaburun aşar kitâbeti. At the same time, from 1880/81, the lists also place İsmail Hakkı in a post with no place named as Karaburun iskelesi aşar kitâbeti. İsmail Hakkı then moved to Izmir in 1882/83. Alongside, the lists for 1889 to 1891 give a second post, in Bodrum as Bodrum me'muriyetleri. Alongside, the lists for 1890/91 give a second post, in Kos as Duyun-ı Umumiye memuru. The last entries, from 1897 to 1900, name İsmail Hakkı as Urla Düyûn-u umûmiye me'murlukları, with no place.

The salary went from 300 kuruş a month in 1880/81 to 1,100 in 1882/83, the peak, in Izmir, when 84 per cent of paid officials earned less. That salary was paid for a single year, and the next list gives 500 kuruş. The final annual entry is for 1899/1900.

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.
