This study deals with the village of Shoubak in southern Jordan at the end of the Ottoman rule, relying on a source that had not previously been studied, which is (the population registry) which the state adopted to count the population, whether male or female. When studying this source, it became clear that it is one of the rich sources for studying social conditions and preparing the population, noting that the population records are one of the important sources for the state to register individuals required for military service, and to confirm the state’s right to collect taxes from taxpayers. The study concluded that all the people of Shobak were farmers, and the number of families there in 1913 was 236 families, and its total population was 1,083 individuals, males and females. This article is a study of the village of Shoawbak in southern Jordan during the last years of Ottoman rule, based on a source that has not been studied before – the civil register that the government used in its census of the inhabitants, both men and women. I used a new methodology to study this source, which I found to be a rich source for studying the social conditions of the inhabitants and their total number. Civil registers were an important source for the government in their efforts to register individuals for military service and to confirm the right of the state to collect taxes. The study shows that all the residents of Shoawbak were farmers and that in 1913 there were 236 households with 1083 inhabitants, both men and women.
