Life#
Emil Galbar Efendi was born in Istanbul in 1877/78 (AH 1294). The record gives the community as Christian (Hristiyan), the nationality as Fransiz and the father's occupation as Telgraf Mufettisi.

Languages recorded, with the skill words of the record: French, with Kitabet; Greek (Rum), with Tekellum; Turkish, with Tekellum.
First work is recorded in Istanbul in 1892/93 (AH 1310). The official was then about 16 years old. The record gives 0.5 years of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 75 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1892/93, the official was about 16 years old.
The first annual entry, for 1892/93, shows Muhabere Memuru in Beyoğlu, with 75 kuruş a month. In 1895/96 the record shows Muhaberat-ı Ecnebiye Memuriyeti in Beyoğlu, the salary going from 100 to 125 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Beyoğlu).
