Annual salary study and register readings

This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

The life of İbrahim Efendi began in Dagistan in 1859/60 (AH 1276); the father's occupation was "Âlim". At about 28, in 1887/88, İbrahim began work. The annual lists begin in 1887/88, with İbrahim as a soldier (Asker) and no place named. In place of a title the lists give Infisal for 1898/99.

Pay rose from 300 kuruş a month in 1895/96 to a peak of 350 in 1899/1900, when 39 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1903/04.

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.
