Rıfat Efendi

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

Rıfat Efendi was born in Aleppo (Halep) in 1880/81 (AH 1298) into the Katolik Hristiyan community; the father's occupation was "Pâd tahsildarı". The annual lists begin in 1906/07, with Rıfat as Mal Muduru Muavini and no place named. Alongside, the lists for 1906 to 1909 give a second post, in Aleppo as Vilayet tahsil kâtibi.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 403.12 kuruş a month in 1906/07, as Mal Muduru Muavini, when 48 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1908/09.

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.
