Notes	This study deals with the village of Shobak 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) that the state adopted to count the population, males and females. When studying this source, it became clear that it is one of the rich sources for studying social conditions and population numbers, knowing that the population records are among the important sources for the state to register individuals required for military service, and to establish the state’s right to collect taxes from taxpayers. The study concluded that all the people of Shoubak were farmers, and the number of families there in 1913 was 236 families, and its total population was 1,083 individuals, males and females.
