Life and register readings

The life of İbrahim Ethem Efendi began in Sungurlu in 1867/68 (AH 1284); the father's occupation was "Sungurlu Rüştiyesi kapıcısı". İbrahim Ethem began work in Istanbul in 1886/87, at about 19, on a first salary of 380 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1886/87, places İbrahim Ethem in Istanbul as Rüştiye ikinci müdür yardımcısı, where the entries run to 1891/92. Alongside, the lists for 1891/92 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Matematik öğretmeni.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 380 kuruş a month in 1886/87, in Istanbul, when 44 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over six years the salaries add up to 18,720 kuruş, 65 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1891/92.

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.
