Extracts from outside the registers

Records under sigla which the card index does not expand. They give no hearths, so they enter no total.

T89 (struck out)card 1)T89 — 1. cz. Franciszka wicesgerenta grodz. Łukow. = 1 dwór, browar, 2 chat. o 2 gosp. — 2. cz. Józefa, Jana, Macieja, Adama, Wawrzyńca, sukcesorów Wojciecha, Adama (2go), Marcina, Kazimierza, sukcesorów Jana, Andrzeja, Antoniego, Pawła, Łukasza, Józefa (2), Józefa Konstantyna, Antoniego (2go), Wawrzyńcowej, Józefa (3ci), Jędrzeja, Krzysztofa, Jakuba, Jędrzeja, Antoniego (4), Jakuba, Walentego, Michała i Antoniego, Pawła, Macieja, Kazimierza, Piotra, Adama — zob. c.d.
note: The whole passage is struck out on the card with oblique lines. The copyist did not get as far as adding the surname — the collective entry breaks off at „Adama” and refers onwards with „zob. c.d.”; nor does it give a number of hearths, so it enters into no total. Among those named is a woman in a husband-derived form: „Wawrzyńcowej”. Uncertain readings: the ordinal numerals added above the line beside the recurring forenames — „(2go)”, „(2)”, „(3ci)”, „(4)” [reading uncertain] — and the cross-reference „zob. c.d.” [reading uncertain]. The set of forenames and the office of deputy castle court officer of Łuków (vicesgerent grodzki łukowski) point to the Celińskis of Celiny in the parish of Trzebieszów, where T89 begins on card 22 with the annotation „c.d.”, and the beginning of the list (59 of 79 hearths, card 6 in the numbering of that village) has not survived in the card index. This connection I do NOT enter into `wies-celiny.json` — I report it only as a finding.

Without an extract for 1775 — no card of this village carries that tariff. It is a missing extract in the card index, not a gap in the numbering of the cards.

The card-index entries

Every extract for this locality in the wording of the cards, year by year. One block is one occurrence: this person, in this year. At a collective item the same card text stands beside every person named — because the card names them together and they must not be separated. The hearths given at a collective item are an equal division among those named, not a reading.

Beside „chat. o 2 gosp.” the card sets no figure; from the total of 18 it follows that one cottage is meant (1 manor house + 1 brewery + 1 inn + 1 cottage with 2 householders + 13 cottages with 1 householder + 1 cottage without a garden = 18) — the figure 1 is supplied from the reckoning, not from the wording. „chorąż. ziemi mielnic.” I expand as chorąży ziemi mielnickiej, standard-bearer of the Mielnik Land.

The name of the grange [reading uncertain]: the letters after „Ce” can be read both as „li” (then „Celiński”, an adjective from the name of the village) and as „h”/„k” (then „Cehiński”/„Cekiński”); I adopt „Celiński”, because only that form makes sense, while the shape of the letters does not decide. The card gives no forename of the hereditary owner — only the surname and the office.

The card gives no forename; from T89 and T089 it is known that Józef Markowski, standard-bearer of the Mielnik Land, is meant, but the wording of T94 itself stops at the surname, and so I do not supply the forename.
