İsmail Efendi

Annual salary study and register readings

This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

The life of İsmail Efendi began in Giresun. The annual lists begin in 1874/75 (AH 1291), with İsmail as mülazım (Nakil) and no place named. Alongside, the lists for 1874/75 give a second post, in Giresun as rüsumat kolcusu. The last entries, from 1876 to 1888, name İsmail as müskirat kâtibi, with no place. The lists give Infisal for 1883/84 and Azil (dismissal) for 1884/85 instead of a title.

Pay rose from 190 kuruş a month in 1874/75 to a peak of 600 in 1885/86, when two in three paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1887/88.

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.
