Life and register readings

The life of İSMAİL HAKKI EFENDİ(A) began in Varna in 1862/63 (AH 1279); the father's occupation was "Rüsûmat kantarcısı". İSMAİL HAKKI EFENDİ(A) began work in 1886/87, at about 24, on a first salary of 200 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1886/87, names İSMAİL HAKKI EFENDİ(A) as Duyûn-ı Umûmiye Nezareti kolcusu, with no place. İSMAİL HAKKI EFENDİ(A) then moved to Istanbul in 1889/90. Alongside, the lists for 1889 to 1893 give a second post, in Büyükada as Duyûn-ı Umûmiye kolcusu. Alongside, the lists for 1892 to 1894 give a second post, in Geyve as Duyûn-ı Umûmiye aşar kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1893 to 1896 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Duyûn-ı Umûmiye memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1895 to 1897 give a second post, in Bodrum as Duyûn-ı Umûmiye memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1896/97 give a second post, in Tavas as Duyûn-ı Umûmiye memuru.

Pay rose from 200 kuruş a month in 1886/87 to a peak of 450 in 1894/95, when 52 per cent of paid officials earned less. The peak lasted a single year; the next list gives 350 kuruş. The last annual entry is for 1896/97.

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.
