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

Salih Efendi was born in Didymoteicho (Dimetoka) in 1878/79 (AH 1296). At about 27, in 1906/07, Salih began work, on a first salary of 600 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1906/07, with Salih as Belediye tabibi and no place named. Alongside, the lists for 1908/09 give a second post, in Ardino as Belediye tabibi.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 600 kuruş a month in 1906/07, when 63 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final 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.
