Life and register readings

The life of Rasim Efendi began in Giresun; the father's occupation was "Arzuhalci". Rasim had a first salary of 235 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1874/75 (AH 1291), names Rasim as İkinci kâtip, with no place, with a rise to Baskatip in 1889/90. The lists have no entry for 1875 to 1889, 1891 to 1893 and 1894 to 1896. Rasim then moved to Ünye in 1897/98. Alongside, the lists for 1897/98 give a second post, in Ordu as Rüsûmât İdaresi memuru.

The salary went from 285 kuruş a month in 1874/75 to 600 in 1889/90, the peak, as Baskatip, when two in three paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1897/98.
