Life and register readings

İBRAHİM EDHEM EFENDİ (C) was born in Komotini (Gümülcine) in 1868/69 (AH 1285); the father was a merchant (tüccar). At about 16, in 1883/84, İBRAHİM EDHEM (C) began work in Komotini. The annual lists begin in 1883/84, with İBRAHİM EDHEM (C) as Sancak Muhasebe Kalemi mülazımı in Komotini, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1894/95. The lists have no entry for 1895 to 1898. Alongside, the lists for 1889/90 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Askerlik hizmeti (Askerlik nedeniyle ara). The last post was in Komotini again in 1902/03. For 1899 to 1902 the lists have no entry. In place of a title the lists give Infisal for 1889/90, 1894/95 and 1898/99.

Pay rose from 120 kuruş a month in 1885/86 to a peak of 500 in 1892/93, in Komotini, when 56 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 11 years of salary come to 36,000 kuruş, 68 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1902/03.

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.
