Life and register readings

İsmail Ferid Efendi was born in Bursa in 1885/86 (AH 1303) into the İslam community. At about 22, in 1908/09, İsmail Ferid began work in Bursa, on a first salary of 200 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1908/09, places İsmail Ferid in Bursa, the birthplace, as bedel-i nakdi tahkik katib-i sânîliği, where the entries run to 1910/11. Alongside, the lists for 1909 to 1911 give a second post, in a post with no place named as tarik-i bedeli tahkiki tâbeti. In place of a title the lists give Infisal for 1909/10 and 1910/11.

Pay rose from 200 kuruş a month in 1908/09 to a peak of 250 in 1910/11, when 13 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over three years the salaries add up to 7,800 kuruş, 43 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1910/11.

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.
