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

Nikola Efendi was born in Aleppo (Halep) in 1860/61 (AH 1277) into the Katolik Hristiyan community. At about 22, in 1882/83, Nikola began work in Beirut (Beyrut), on a first salary of 250 kuruş. Every annual entry from 1882/83 to 1891/92 places Nikola in the same post, Beyrut Gümrüğü sarfiyat markacılığı, in Beirut.

The salary went from 250 kuruş a month in 1882/83 to 400 in 1885/86, the peak, in Beirut, when 44 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1891/92.

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.
