Life and register readings

The life of İbrahim Efendi began in Kırşehir in 1867/68 (AH 1284). Work began in 1881/82, at about 15. The annual lists begin in 1881/82, with İbrahim as nüfus kalemi mülazımı and no place named. The lists have no entry for 1882 to 1885.

The salary went from 125 kuruş a month in 1885/86 to 250 in 1887/88, the peak, when one in five paid officials earned less. Over five years the salaries add up to 13,500 kuruş, 56 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1890/91.

Places in order of time
