Annual salary study and register readings

This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

İsmail Kâmil Efendi was born in Mecca (Mekke) in 1889/90 (AH 1307); the father's occupation was "Taif Hastanesi emini (emekli)". The first annual entry, for 1909/10, places İsmail Kâmil in Jeddah (Cidde) as Telgraf ve Posta Merkezi üçüncü sınıf memuru, where the entries run to 1911. Alongside, the lists for 1911 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Sevkülceyş Merkezi üçüncü sınıf müdürü.

The salary went from 400 kuruş a month in 1909/10 to 1,000 in 1911, the peak, when 62 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1911.

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.
