Life and register readings

Mehmed Rami Bey was born in Didymoteicho (Dimetoka) in 1883/84 (AH 1301); the father's occupation was "Mamuretülaziz Vilayeti mektubi muavini ve vilayet matbaası müdürü". At about 24, in 1908/09, Mehmed Rami began work in Edirne, on a first salary of 500 kuruş. Every annual entry from 1908/09 to 1910/11 places Mehmed Rami in the same post, Vilayet maiyet memuru; Umur-ı Ecnebiye Müdürü refakati, in Edirne.

The salary went from 500 kuruş a month in 1908/09 to 1,200 in 1909/10, the peak, in Edirne, when three in four paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1910/11.
