„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.

Family trees

Fragments of families assembled from the kinships the acts state outright. One fragment is as much as a single entry, or a group of entries, allows to be joined without guessing — not a whole family tree, only a certain piece of one.

The Pniewski family

The Pniewski family — descendants of Kazimierz Pniewski

confidence A — a single act

The whole structure comes from a single act (entry 2119). Type of act: Cession of a legacy of 1000 złp in favour of the Piarist college in Łuków.

Caveat. A contradiction in the corpus (Pniewski): the same pair is recorded in both directions — entry 2119: father Kazimierz, son Kazimierz; entry 2119: the other way round, father Kazimierz, son Kazimierz. Either one of the two is a misreading, or a grandfather and a grandson bore the same given name; only the manuscript can settle it.

[Signature:] Ludovicus Radzikowski

notes and marginalia The given name of the deponent (Ludwik) is confirmed by his autograph signature; the tags for scan 099 do not name Ludwik Radzikowski (they do name Ludwik Dąbrowski) – the discrepancy is noted. The act is described as „dat, donat seu potius redonat” – the return of lands earlier acquired by the donor's father from the donee. The micro-toponyms are in part uncertain readings. The village of Radzików Wielki agrees with the tag.
