Life and register readings

İbrahim Sıdkı Efendi was born in Apçağa Karyesi, Eğin in 1844/45 (AH 1260), into the İslam community, and the father's occupation was "Kavasbaşı". The first annual entry, for 1869/70, names İbrahim Sıdkı as memlaha kâtibi, with no place. The lists have no entry for 1871 to 1874. The annual lists then follow İbrahim Sıdkı to Diyarbakır in 1874/75, then a post with no place named from 1879 to 1887. For 1875 to 1879 the lists have no entry. The last post was in Ergani in 1887/88.

The salary went from 300 kuruş a month in 1869/70 to 400 in 1880/81, the peak, when 46 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1887/88.

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.
