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.

The total given by the card („= 8 d.”, underlined with two strokes) agrees with the breakdown of the buildings: 1 manor house + 2 small manor houses + 2 inns + 3 cottages = 8. TWO INNS against the eight hearths of the whole village — the numeral „2” before „karcz.” is clear. The preposition „z” in „3 chat. z ogrod.” is added in small writing above the line. This extract is the continuation of the heading „T89 Cięszkowizna” begun and STRUCK OUT at the foot of card — the compiler began it on the first card, ran out of room and moved the whole onto the second card.

the card gives the surname alone, without a forename: „1 dworek gdzie mieszka felczer Gutman”; he is not the possessor of a holding, only the occupant of a building counted to the hereditary owner

T₀89hereditary ownerpropination (the right to sell drink)hereditary ownerT₀89 – Cieszkowizna w par. Łuków – dziedz. Sebastjana Dłuskiego, star. łukowskiego; propinacja;card 2)
A list of possessors from 1789, without hearths — `dymy: null`, as with every T₀89. PROPINATION: the word „propinacja” stands on the card plainly, as the last member of the extract, after a semicolon. This is the only place in this group of three cards where the parish is written out in the body, and not only on the heading strip („w par. Łuków”) — hence the certainty that Cieszkowizna belongs to the parish of Łuków, independently of the reading of the heading.

T909 hearthspł. of.hereditary ownerT90. Cięszkowizna. Sebastjana Dłuskiego starosty łukowskiego część dziedzictwa; /pł. of./ dymów 9
The whole village as one hereditary holding of a single owner — the card does not break it up among part-holders. The phrase „część dziedzictwa”, hence the annotation „dziedzic”. The marker between slashes: I read „/pł. of./”; certain is only that the abbreviation begins with a „p” — [reading uncertain]. The office („starosty łukowskiego”) is at variance with card, where the same Dłuski is called in T90 „starostą zwolińskim”.

the forename on the card in the form „Sebastjana”; the marker between slashes small and running together — „/pł. of./” [reading uncertain]

The figure „9” is underlined with two strokes. This extract gives no office. After the siglum „T94” the card sets two dots.
