Life and register readings

İbrahim Efendi was born in Gelibolu; the father's occupation was "kalafat". Work began in Gelibolu in 1893/94 (AH 1311), on a first salary of 100 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1893/94, with İbrahim as Pasaport Memuru vekili and no place named. Alongside, the lists for 1909 to 1911 give a second post, in Gelibolu as Evkaf Kâtibi. The last posts were in Gümüşhane in 1911 and Eskişehir in 1912/13.

Pay rose from 200 kuruş a month in 1893/94 to a peak of 300 in 1910/11, in Gelibolu, when one in five paid officials earned less. Over 18 years the salaries add up to 44,400 kuruş, 48 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1912/13.

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.
