Life and register readings

Born in Pristina (Priştine) in 1855/56 (AH 1272), Ramazan Efendi came from the İslam community. Ramazan began work in 1877/78, at about 21, on a first salary of 110 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1877/78, with Ramazan as Muhasebe Kalemi odacısı and no place named.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 110 kuruş a month in 1877/78, when 6 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 14 years pay ended below where it began, 100 kuruş against 110. In all, 14 years of salary come to 18,360 kuruş, 26 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1889/90.

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.
