„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.

forms of the name in the acts Żarniak Zarniak

The acts also record this surname as Zarniak. We keep both spellings under one entry — their records do not overlap, so nothing is counted twice, and the difference comes down to spelling.

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 Żarniak family

The Żarniak family — descendants of Jakub Żarniak

confidence A — a single act

The whole structure comes from a single act (entry 970). Type of act: Donation.

Caveat. Ancestors marked “mention only” are known solely from the filiation formula of a child — they have no appearance of their own in the register.

The magnificent (Magn.) Ignacy Olędzki, tribune of Łuków, son of the late magnificent (Magn.) Franciszek Olędzki, pantler of Łuków, being of sound mind and body, deposed that to the well-born (Gen.) Mateusz Kobyleński, son of the late well-born (Gen.) Jakub Kobyleński, and to his successors, he gives and donates, with everything, his paternal hereditary estate, that is his whole and entire inheritance share – in the plots, buildings and structures of whatever kind, gardens, orchards, arable, fields, meadows, woods, forests, groves, rivers and streams, and likewise with the industrious (Labor.) subjects Jakub Zarniak and Stanisław Szostek, together with their wives, children, cattle and swine, with the days of labour service, with the renders, the dues and all the obligations, as also with the arable, the fields, the meadows, the woods and the forests held and possessed by them, with the whole household property and the farming implements, and with everything that adjoins and belongs to those estates – situated and lying in the hereditary village of Kornica Rzążew, and already in the possession of the very reverend (Adm. Rev.) Father Andrzej, provost of the church of Trzebieszów, as given over by the official delivery. He consents to intromission forthwith and promises warranty, and this under the land-law damages and under the present court; whereby the donee of this day shall be bound to redeem it with his own money.

notes and marginalia The date of the session verified: 7 September 1743 (the vigil of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary) did indeed fall on a Saturday. The entry shows a donation of encumbered estates: the acquirer receives the inheritance share, but must redeem it from the hands of the possessor (the parish priest of Trzebieszów). A discrepancy with the PTG tag: the tag gives „Maciej Kobyleński”, the manuscript „Mathaeus” (Mateusz). The offices: „Tribunus Lucoviensis” – tribune of Łuków, „Dapifer Lucoviensis” – pantler of Łuków.

notes and marginalia The PTG tags for scan 157 name Ignacy Cieszkowski and Ignacy Olędzki separately – the manuscript confirms that these are two different persons: Cieszkowski is the donee, Olędzki the seller. The title of Cieszkowski's starosty is written across the join of two lines at a fold of the leaf and is legible only in part („Capit. …szczelovien”) – [uncertain reading]. At the end of the entry a passage is struck through and illegible. The date of the acquisition verified: 7 September 1743 was a Saturday, the vigil of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
