Life and register readings

The life of İbrahim Behçet Efendi began in Taşköprü in 1869/70 (AH 1286). İbrahim Behçet began work in Kastamonu in 1889/90, at about 20. The annual lists begin in 1889/90, with İbrahim Behçet as Ziraat Bankası şubesi mülazımı in Kastamonu. Alongside, the lists for 1894 to 1896 give a second post, in Elbasan as Ziraat Bankası şube memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1895 to 1898 give a second post, in Şanlıurfa as Ziraat Bankası şube memuru. İbrahim Behçet then moved to Adana from 1898 to 1901. Alongside, the lists for 1900/01 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Nakil. Alongside, the lists for 1900 to 1904 give a second post, in Ertugrul as Ziraat Bankası şube memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1903 to 1907 give a second post, in Afyonkarahisar as Ziraat Bankası şube memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1906/07 give a second post, in Erzurum as Ziraat Bankası şube müdürü. Six provinces on two continents in all, a number reached by fewer than 4 per cent of the 6,605 officials with a place of service.

Pay rose from 400 kuruş a month in 1890/91 to a peak of 1,300 in 1906/07, in Erzurum, when 86 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1906/07.

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.
