Life and register readings

Born in Malatya in 1851/52 (AH 1268), İbrahim Talat Efendi was the child of a merchant (tüccar). İbrahim Talat began work in Adıyaman (Hısnımansur) in 1877/78, at about 25, on a first salary of 300 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1877/78, places İbrahim Talat in Adıyaman as Aşar Kâtibi, where the entries run to 1878/79. Alongside, the lists for 1878 to 1880 give a second post, in Akçadağ as Aşar Kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1879 to 1881 give a second post, in Kâhta as Aşar Kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1880 to 1887 give a second post, in Akçadağ as Mal Muduru. Next came Malatya and Akçadağ from 1888 to 1894. Alongside, the lists for 1893 to 1895 give a second post, in Malatya as Muhasebeci Vekili. For 1895 to 1899 the lists have no entry. The annual lists then follow İbrahim Talat to Akçadağ in 1899/1900. The last entry, for 1901/02, names İbrahim Talat as Sultansuyu Çiftlik-i Hümayunu Muhasebe Memuru, with no place.

Pay rose from 300 kuruş a month in 1877/78 to a peak of 500 in 1878/79, in Akçadağ, when 55 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1901/02.

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.
