Life and register readings

The life of Mehmed Şakir Efendi began in Shkodër (İşkodra) in 1877/78 (AH 1294); the father's occupation was "İşkodra Vilayeti Evrak Müdürü". Work began in Shkodër in 1893/94, at about 16. Every annual entry from 1893/94 to 1909/10 places Mehmed Şakir in the same post, İşkodra Vilayeti Mektubî Kalemi mülazımı, in Shkodër, the birthplace.

The salary went from 50 kuruş a month in 1895/96 to 600 in 1909/10, the peak, in Shkodër, when half the paid officials earned less. In all, 13 years of salary come to 39,900 kuruş, 60 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1909/10.
