Life and register readings

The life of İbrahim Efendi began in Çemişgezek in 1844/45 (AH 1260). İbrahim began work in Aleppo (Halep) in 1870/71, at about 26, on a first salary of 150 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1870/71, with İbrahim as Halep Rüsumat Nezareti süvari kolcusu in Aleppo. Alongside, the lists for 1871 to 1873 give a second post, in Şanlıurfa as Urfa Rüsumat Müdürlüğü ambar memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1872/73 give a second post, in Ordu as Ordu rüsumat memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1872 to 1887 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Çivil memlahası müfettişi. The lists give Infisal for 1872/73 and Vefat (death) for 1886/87 instead of a title.

The salary went from 150 kuruş a month in 1870/71 to 520 in 1872/73, the peak, when 59 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1886/87.

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.
