Life and register readings

İbrahim Hilmi Efendi was born in Shkodër (İşkodra) in 1847/48 (AH 1264); the father was a merchant (tüccar). Work began in Shkodër in 1870/71, at about 22. The first annual entry, for 1870/71, places İbrahim Hilmi in Shkodër, the birthplace, as Rüsûmat Nezareti Muhasebe Kalemi mülazımı. Alongside, the lists for 1871 to 1881 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Memlaha kâtibi. At the same time, from 1880 to 1885, the lists also place İbrahim Hilmi in Shkodër as Rüsûm-ı Sitte Nezareti Duhan ve Müskirat kâtibi. Next came Durrës (Dıraç) from 1885 to 1888. Alongside, the lists for 1887 to 1900 give a second post, in Shkodër as Duyûn-ı Umûmiye müdürü.

The salary went from 400 kuruş a month in 1871/72 to 1,000 in 1899/1900, the peak, in Shkodër, when 83 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 29 years of salary come to 204,240 kuruş, 1.4 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1899/1900.

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.
