Life and register readings

Born in Komotini (Gümülcine) in 1862/63 (AH 1279), İbrahim Edhem Efendi (A) came from the İslam community; the father's occupation was "Tüfenkçi". İbrahim Edhem (A) began work in Komotini in 1877/78, at about 15. From the first annual entry, for 1877/78, to 1889/90, every annual entry places İbrahim Edhem (A) in the same post, Gümülcine Sancağı Muhasebe Kalemi mülâzımı, in Komotini, the birthplace.

The salary went from 25 kuruş a month in 1880/81 to 150 in 1889/90, the peak, in Komotini, when one in ten paid officials earned less. In all, ten years of salary come to 12,180 kuruş, 25 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1889/90.
