Life and register readings

Born in Argiri in 1855/56 (AH 1272), Resul Hayri Efendi came from the İslam community; the father was a tax farmer (mültezim). Work began in 1882/83, at about 27, on a first salary of 1,000 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1882/83, names Resul Hayri as Atina ve Pire Şehbenderhanesi imamı, with no place. At the same time, from 1887/88, the lists also place Resul Hayri in Podgorica (Podgoriça) as Podgoriçe şehbender vekili.

Pay rose from 1,000 kuruş a month in 1882/83 to a peak of 1,500 in 1887/88, in Podgorica, when 88 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over six years the salaries add up to 78,000 kuruş, 2.7 times what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1887/88.

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.
