Life and register readings

The life of İsmail Nadir Efendi began in Kuşadası in 1876/77 (AH 1293); the father's occupation was "Hersek gümrük memuru". At about 22, in 1898/99, İsmail Nadir began work, on a first salary of 400 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1898/99, names İsmail Nadir as Merkez muvakkit aşar ambar memuru, with no place. Alongside, the lists for 1900 to 1908 give a second post, in Kuşadası as Ağnam vergisi hesap kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1907/08 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Nakil.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 400 kuruş a month in 1898/99, when 44 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over nine years the salaries add up to 29,400 kuruş, 65 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1907/08.

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.
