Mehmet İhsan Efendi
Mehmet İhsan Efendi was born in Istanbul / Dersaadet in AH 1281. Recorded schooling includes 7 years at Rusdiye Mektebi. First work is recorded in Manastir in AH 1303 (22 AH years after the recorded birth year). The surviving career record covers 5 distinct AH years between 1311 and 1316, with gaps; it begins with Muhabere Memuru in Hudeyde (750 kuruş monthly). Recorded language competency: Turkish: Kitabet (writing).
Life and career
5 recorded AH years · 5 annual entries
Life and career stages
Recorded AH years- AH 1281
- AH 1303Birth-year difference: 22 AH years
- AH 1311–1312Birth-year difference: 30–31 AH years
- AH 1313Birth-year difference: 32 AH years
- AH 1314No annual career entries
The source record is open here. A later change cannot be dated within this interval.
- AH 1315Birth-year difference: 34 AH years
- AH 1316Birth-year difference: 35 AH years
Each stage retains its recorded place and title. Annual stages group only consecutive years with the same title and place; they do not prove continuous tenure. Birth-year differences compare AH year numbers; they are not exact ages or birthdays.
Assigned salary in the annual career
Monthly kuruş · AHMuhabere Memuru · hudeyde · 750 kuruş monthly
First work is separately recorded at AH 1303 in Manastir. The first-salary field is 750 kuruş; it is not a dated point on this curve.
Monthly nominal assigned amounts, not confirmed cash payments. Lines connect consecutive AH years only; hollow points mean salary not recorded. Competing entries in one AH year remain separate points, without a unique pay-change line. Gregorian values elsewhere are stored labels.
Places in this record
◆ Birthplace■ First work● Annual recordRing: multiple relations
Every recorded locality remains visible in the key. Hollow markers show candidate coordinates; these are not resolved locations. Overlapping markers are offset for legibility; a small anchor and leader retain the source coordinate. Coastlines provide modern geographic context.
Compare all recorded title, place and salary changes
Each comparison uses the preceding surviving entry.
Locality hudeyde → yanya
Salary 750 to 400 kuruş -350 (-46.67%)
No annual entries for AH 1314. Changes span the gap.
Locality yanya → yemen
Salary 400 to 675 kuruş +275 (+68.75%)
Locality yemen → beyrut
Salary 675 to 400 kuruş -275 (-40.74%)
A title change is not automatically a promotion; a locality change is not a reconstructed journey.
How to read the dates, birth-year differences and salaries
AH years are the ordering clock. Birth-year differences subtract uncontested AH birth and event year numbers; they are not exact ages or birthdays. Separately recorded first-job age fields can use a different or unresolved convention and are not substituted into this calculation. Gregorian years are stored dataset labels. The first-work field may concern apprenticeship, paid instruction or earlier state service, and does not establish the beginning of PT service.
Salaries are monthly nominal assigned amounts, not confirmed cash disbursements. Differences between annual entries are not dated promotions or transfers. A source status such as Vefat is not a formal death date; no death locality is assigned from a last work place.
Missing AH years: 1314. Older source entries do not fill the selected annual chronology.

Schooling years are a duration/classification, not an acquisition date. Education and training dates await source-linked structured records; no dates are inferred here. No completion date is inferred from a schooling duration.

The first-work date may concern apprenticeship, paid instruction or earlier state service. The first-salary amount is a separate inherited field; their presence together does not prove that payment began on this date. Neither is the first positive annual salary observation.
Recorded language repertoire
1 field contains historical terms.
- Turkish
- Kitabet (writing)
Only recorded terms are shown. Omitted language fields mean not recorded; they do not establish that the official lacked a language. Original competency wording is preserved; Kitabet (writing), Tekellum (speaking) and Asina (familiarity) are cautious historical glosses, not modern proficiency levels. Workbook language notes remain separately source-linked in the additional evidence. Read the terminology note.

How to read this dossier
The website joins the exact archival identity across editions. Names are attributes and never merge records. No annual gap is filled from another extract. Geographic alternatives, missing values and differences remain evidence rather than silent corrections.
