Life and register readings

İbrahim Efendi was born in Kriva Palanka (Eğri Palanka) in 1869/70 (AH 1286). Work began in Istanbul in 1894/95, at about 25. The annual lists begin in 1894/95, with İbrahim as Gümrük stajyeri in Istanbul. Alongside, the lists for 1895 to 1900 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Gümrük merkez memuru. At the same time, from 1899/1900, the lists also place İbrahim in Akçakoca (Akçaşehir) as Gümrük memuru.

The salary went from 300 kuruş a month in 1895/96 to 400 in 1899/1900, the peak, in Akçakoca, when 44 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last 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.
