Life#
Hasan Basri Efendi was born in Niš (Niş) in 1871/72 (AH 1288). The record gives the community as Muslim (Müslüman), the nationality as Turkish and the father's occupation as Ketebe.
Schooling recorded: Rüşdiye Mektebi, with 7 years of schooling recorded, at a place worded Pristine. The record marks a qualification: a diploma, certificate, training or decoration (nişan). Languages recorded, with the skill words of the record: Turkish, with Kitabet.
First work is recorded in Pristina (Priştine) in 1886/87 (AH 1304): Telgraf. The official was then about 16 years old. The record gives 3 years of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 250 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1889/90, the official was about 18 years old.
The first annual entry, for 1889/90, shows Başmemur in Trgovište (Tırgovişte), with 250 kuruş a month. In 1891/92 the record shows Asker in Trgovište, with 250 kuruş a month (before: Başmemur in Trgovište). In 1896/97 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Skopje (Üsküp), the salary going from 250 to 300 kuruş a month (before: Asker in Trgovište). In 1898/99 the record shows 3. Müdür in Peja (İpek), the salary going from 300 to 500 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Skopje). In 1899/1900 the record shows 3. Müdür in Bihcova, with 500 kuruş a month (before: 3.
