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 Misak Efendi began in Komotini (Gümülcine) in 1872/73 (AH 1289); the father's occupation was "Berber". Misak began work in Razlog (Razlık) in 1901/02, at about 29, on a first salary of 600 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1901/02, with Misak as Belediye tabibi in Razlog. Alongside, the lists for 1902 to 1904 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Belediye tabibi. Alongside, the lists for 1903/04 give a second post, in Bolvadin as Belediye tabibi. The lists give Azil (dismissal) for 1903/04 instead of a title.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 600 kuruş a month in 1901/02, in Razlog, when two in three paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1903/04.

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.
