Life and register readings

İskender Neccaş Efendi was born in Aleppo (Halep) in 1875/76 (AH 1292), into the Katolik community, and the father's occupation was "Tüccar; Halep Vilayeti İstinaf Mahkemesi azası". At about 19, in 1894/95, İskender Neccaş began work in Aleppo, on a first salary of 250 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1894/95, places İskender Neccaş in Aleppo, the birthplace, as İtalyanca lisanı muallimliği. The lists have no entry for 1895 to 1898. The last posts were in Adana from 1898 to 1900.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 250 kuruş a month in 1894/95, in Aleppo, when 21 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1899/1900.
