Life and register readings

The life of İsmail Hakkı İsmet Efendi began in Gelibolu in 1818/19 (AH 1234); the father's occupation was "Gelibolu Sancağı İdare Meclisi azası". The first annual entry, for 1862/63, names İsmail Hakkı İsmet as eyalet muhasebecisi, with no place. The lists have no entry for 1863 to 1882. In 1882/83 the lists place İsmail Hakkı İsmet in Al Hudaydah (Hudeyde). The farthest post, Al Hudaydah, lay about 3,250 km from Gelibolu, and 6 of the 5,339 officials with a known birthplace and place of service served as far from the birthplace.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 4,000 kuruş a month in 1862/63, when 91 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1882/83.

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.
