Life and register readings

The life of İbrahim Kazım Efendi began in Tokat in 1868/69 (AH 1285); the father's occupation was "Nahiye vergi kâtibi". The first annual entry, for 1879/80, places İbrahim Kazım in Tokat, the birthplace, as Rüşdiye diploması, where the entries run to 1895/96. For 1880 to 1895 and 1896 to 1899 the lists have no entry. The annual lists then follow İbrahim Kazım to Pazar (Atina) in 1900/01. The last entries, from 1901 to 1903, name İbrahim Kazım as Ağnam Memuru ve Sayım Kâtibi, with no place.

Pay rose from 300 kuruş a month in 1895/96 to a peak of 500 in 1900/01, in Pazar, when 55 per cent of paid officials earned less. That salary was paid for a single year, and the next list gives 340 kuruş. The final annual entry is for 1902/03.

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.
