Life and register readings

İbrahim Mesud Bey was born in Gelibolu; the father's occupation was "Redif Livası Kumandanı (mütekait)". Work began in Istanbul in 1904/05 (AH 1322), on a first salary of 100 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1904/05, places İbrahim Mesud in Istanbul as Orman ve Maâdin ve Ziraat Nezareti memuru. İbrahim Mesud then moved to Acre (Akka) from 1906 to 1909. For 1909 to 1912 the lists have no entry. The last entry, for 1912/13, names İbrahim Mesud as Nezafet-i Fenniye Müfettişi, with no place. The lists give Infisal for 1908/09 instead of a title.

The salary went from 100 kuruş a month in 1904/05 to 400 in 1906/07, the peak, in Acre, when 41 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1912/13.

Places in order of time
