Life and register readings

RüĢdi Efendi was born in Antakya in 1883/84 (AH 1301). At about 23, in 1907/08, RüĢdi began work, on a first salary of 250 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1907/08, with RüĢdi as Ziraat Bankası Sandığı Muhasebe Kitabeti Refakati and no place named. Alongside, the lists for 1908/09 give a second post, in Harem as Ziraat Bankası Sandığı Muhasebe Kâtibi.
