Life and register readings

The life of İbrahim Sıdkı Efendi began in Mitrovica (Mitroviça) in 1889/90 (AH 1307). İbrahim Sıdkı began work in 1908/09, at about 18, on a first salary of 300 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1908/09, with İbrahim Sıdkı as Nafıa 1. Şube kâtibi and no place named. The lists give İstifa (resignation) for 1909/10 and Infisal for 1911/12 instead of a title.

Pay rose from 300 kuruş a month in 1908/09 to a peak of 400 in 1910/11, when 31 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over five years the salaries add up to 21,000 kuruş, 56 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1911/12.

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.
