Life and register readings

İbrahim Efendi was born in Ürgüp in 1866/67 (AH 1283). At about 30, in 1896/97, İbrahim began work, on a first salary of 60 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1896/97, with İbrahim as İhtiyat talebekârı and no place named.

Pay rose from 60 kuruş a month in 1896/97 to a peak of 250 in 1906/07, when 22 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 14 years of salary come to 21,120 kuruş, 29 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1909/10.
