"Nazem-ol-moham"

Hadge-Mirza-Jabbar Taskerechi

I have very little information about Haj-Mirza-Jabbar TASKEREH-CHI, as I have not managed to find any records.

HOPEFULLY SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE, SOMEDAY MAY PROVIDE A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION THAT I CAN INCLUDE IN THESE PAGES.

Haj-Mirza-Jabbar TASKEREH-CHI "Nazem-ol-Moham" was born around 1775* in Khoy, a city in Southern Azerbaijan.He was one of the King�s trustees who dealt with all matters regarding Azerbaijan and after a few years in charge of the Passport Office, where he got his name from � TASKEREH-CHI �  meaning (in charge of passports).

He was sent to Baghdad as Consulate General. On his return to Iran he was put in charge of Mines and Industry. As a favourite of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar, he was put in charge of the � Etefagheye � paper and press (1850), which was translating the news from the international press and presenting it to the public.He had three sons Hadj-Hassan-Ali KHOII, Hadj-Hossain-Ali KHOII and Hadj-Safar-Ali KHOII.

I have no doubt that it was due to his efforts and connections that his sons were welcomed into the Iranian Diplomatic Corp.*= This is only an estimated guess allowing 25 years per generation.
