„Persons (different given names)” means: different combinations of a given name with a byname, not persons proved to have existed. Two namesakes from one family merge here into a single item, and the acts give nothing to tell them apart. An entry naming several families stands beside each of them — because the record names them together, and they must not be separated.

Having appeared in person before the present castle court records of Łuków, the noble (Nob.) Wojciech Zdanowski, son of the late noble (Nob.) Andrzej, being of sound mind and body, deposed that to the noble (Nob.) Franciszka Biernacka, daughter of the late noble (Nob.) Jan Biernacki and widow left by the late noble (Nob.) Jakub Wysokiński, her last husband, his future wife, and to her successors he is bound and obliged for the sum of fifty Polish złoty, by way of a certain, true, just, liquid and simple debt. That sum he inscribes and secures upon all and each of his estates, undertaking and binding himself to pay it on the first demand of that future wife of his and to lodge it with the present records; and this under a like penalty of fifty Polish złoty, before the forum of the present office.

notes and marginalia A note by the clerk: „Ignarus personae litterarum”. Beside the surname of the first husband there is a blot or a correction; the reading adopted is „Wysokiński”, whereas in entry no. 456 of that same scan and in entry no. 452 (scan 071) the same person is described as the widow of Jakub NURZYŃSKI. The tags for scan 072 give both variants („pv Nurzyńska?” and „pv Wysokińska?”) – the discrepancy in the source is recorded without being resolved.
