Life and register readings

İBRAHİM İSMET EFENDİ was born in Shkodër (İşkodra) in 1868/69 (AH 1285); the father's occupation was "Maliye müfettiş-i evveli". At about 20, in 1888/89, İBRAHİM İSMET began work in Durrës (Dıraç). The annual lists begin in 1888/89, with İBRAHİM İSMET as Draç Sancağı Tahrirat Kalemi mülazımı in Durrës, where the entries run to 1890/91. Alongside, the lists for 1890 to 1898 give a second post, in Vlorë as Avlonya Memlehası kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1897 to 1899 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Serendoz Düyun-ı Umumiye Memuriyeti kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1898/99 give a second post, in Istanbul as Serendoz Düyun-ı Umumiye Memuriyeti kâtibi; izinli.

The salary went from 100 kuruş a month in 1889/90 to 450 in 1893/94, the peak, in Vlorë, when 52 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1898/99.
