Life and register readings

Born in Shkodër (İşkodra) in 1868/69 (AH 1285), ŞAKİR EFENDİ was the child of a merchant (tüccar). Work began in Shkodër in 1886/87, at about 18. The annual lists begin in 1886/87, with ŞAKİR as Duyûn-ı Umûmiye Müdürlüğü Kalemi mülazımı in Shkodër, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1890/91. At the same time, from 1890 to 1893, the lists also place ŞAKİR in Shëngjin (Şengin) as Duyûn-ı Umûmiye memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1892 to 1896 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Duyûn-ı Umûmiye memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1895 to 1897 give a second post, in Brana as Duyûn-ı Umûmiye memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1896/97 give a second post, in Tuzi as Duyûn-ı Umûmiye memuru.

The salary went from 300 kuruş a month in 1890/91 to 350 in 1895/96, the peak, in Brana, when 38 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1896/97.

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.
