  The Łuków castle court records 1743–1744 in an AI study

  A translation of 2132 entries into Polish, with a search by surname and place, prepared by the AI model Claude Opus 5. Do read it — the material is well worth the time. Like any work produced by AI, it should be treated with a measure of caution, and the key facts checked for yourself.

  The Jasińskis in the castle court and land court records of the Lublin region

  Over 1300 scans of entries mentioning Jasińskis in the castle court and land court records of Lublin, Horodło, Chełm, Krasnystaw and Grabowiec.
