Life and register readings

Receb Remzi Efendi was born in Pristina (Priştine) in 1878 (AH 1295); the father's occupation was "Jandarma süvarisi". Work began in Pristina in 1895/96, at about 17. The annual lists begin in 1895/96, with Receb Remzi as Merkez maa-tahrir vergi kalemi stajyeri in Pristina, the birthplace. The lists have no entry for 1896 to 1904. Next came Mitrovica (Mitroviça) and Nova Varoš (Yenivaroş) from 1904 to 1907. At the same time, from 1906/07, the lists also place Receb Remzi in Pristina as Vergi kâtibi.

The salary went from 250 kuruş a month in 1904/05 to 500 in 1906/07, the peak, in Pristina, when 51 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1906/07.
