Life and register readings

Nesim Soriçon Efendi was born in Istanbul in 1860/61 (AH 1277), into the Musevilik community. At about 19, in 1879/80, Nesim Soriçon began work, on a first salary of 240 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1879/80, names Nesim Soriçon as Eczacılık refakati, with no place. The lists give Infisal for 1894/95 instead of a title.

The salary went from 240 kuruş a month in 1879/80 to 630 in 1897/98, the peak, when 73 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1897/98.

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.
