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.
1775 T75Hearth tax register 1775
1789 T89Hearth tax register 1789
One entry for the whole village, the numbering „1” editorial. The breakdown of the buildings closes correctly to the one hearth: 1 manor house + 2 breweries + 2 inns + 15 cottages with 1 householder = 20 = the total given on the card („= 20 d.”, underlined twice). The figure „1” in „o 1 gosp.” is thick and reworked (written over another character), but the reckoning leaves no choice: with „o 2 gosp.” the total would not come out. THE CROSS-REFERENCE STANDS IN THE TOTAL: I read the word before the colon as „złączona” (joined), so the 20 hearths cover Czuryty TOGETHER with the estates at Oledy and Radzików Stopki. The reading of this word is checked letter by letter: „z” + a tall stem with a crossbar at the top, that is „ł”, not „t” (the stem of the „t” in „Stopkach” in the same line is distinctly lower, and its crossbar lower still; the „ł” in „włościami” at the start of the same line and in „połanieckiego” has the same height and the same crossbar) + an „a” with a tail („ą”) + „cz” (two arcs identical with the „cz” in „karczmy” in the line below) + „o” + „n” + an „a” with a sweeping arc over the letter. The same phrase stands in the same function on card („z częścią na wsi Wierzejkach złączona: dwór, brow., karcz., 6 chat. o 1 gosp. = 9 d.”), card 2) („wieś Wolka Kamienowa z częściami na wsiach Rzążewie, Chromnej i Lipinach złączona”) and card 2) („wieś Krzesk … z częściami na wsiach Królowej Niwie, Krzesku Starym i Wesołce, dziedziczna złączona”). A note for the owner: the same word was read on card as „z ta⟨…⟩ną” — it looks like the same „złączoną”, worth returning to. SURNAME: here, and only here, stands „Cieciszewskiego” (after „sz” a distinct loop „e”), where T90, O83, T94 and T₀89 have „Cieciszowskiego” (a closed circle „o”); I record it literally, I do not merge the forms.
1789 T₀89List of possessors of holdings of 1789
the same entry also names: Gurowski Jan2 persons on a holding without hearths
A list of the 1789 possessors — without hearths, the hearths figure empty in line with the rule for T₀89. The word „dziedz.” is an ADDITION above the line, inserted after „wś, –” and marked with an oval with a stroke; I introduce it into the text at the place of the insertion. „zaprzys.” = zaprzysiągł (he swore the oath) — Jan Gurowski took the oath for this village; the card calls him neither a possessor nor a guardian, so I limit the status to „zaprzysiągł” (just as on card, 184, 263, 344). THE SURNAME „Gurowski” [reading uncertain as to the capital letter]: the initial letter has a closed loop at the top with a hook to the right and a long, narrow descender below the line — this is not the „Z” of this hand („Zbuczyn” in the heading and „Zaprzys.” in the same line have a loop without a descender below the line) nor the „J” of the same line („Jan”, where the lower loop is wide and open to the left); I read „G”. The surname „Gurowski” is not so far in either the hearth tax card index or in SLOWNIK-OKOLICY — I report it as new. PROPINATION is recorded outright, as the last word of the line. The office „poła…ckiego”: the middle of the word (about two letters, „ni”) is obscured by a thick, repeated stroke of the pen; I adopt the reading „połanieckiego” on the strength of the three other occurrences on these cards, not from guesswork.

1790 T90Hearth tax register 1790
One entry for the whole village, the numbering „1” editorial. T90 gives no forename for the hereditary owner — the surname alone remains; the forename „Antoni” is given only by T89 and T₀89. THE CROSS-REFERENCE STANDS IN THE TOTAL: the 20 hearths cover Czuryty TOGETHER with the holdings at Radzików Stopki and Oledy („Czuryty z cz. na …”), not Czuryty alone; T89 counts the same way („złączona … = 20 d.”). The office is recorded here as „połonieckiego” — with a distinct „o” in the second syllable, checked at five- and seven-times magnification; the remaining three extracts (T89, O83, T₀89) have an „a” at this point („połanieckiego”). I record it literally, without normalizing; historically it concerns the castellany of Połaniec. „20” is underlined.
1794 T94Hearth tax register 1794
One entry for the whole village, the numbering „1” editorial. T94 gives neither a forename nor an office — the surname alone, in the form „Cieciszowskiego”. The figure „20” is underlined with a wavy stroke; it is the same figure as in T90 and T89, and there it takes in Czuryty TOGETHER with the holdings at Olędy and Radzikowo Stopki — T94 no longer names the adjoining holdings, so there is no cross-reference here, although the total is the same. THE WORD „wieś” [reading uncertain]: it has four characters — „w”, a tall loop, a small loop, and „ś” with an accent — and the tall loop in this hand is the shape of „ł” (the „ł” in „włościami” on card 1) looks the same), not a dotted „i”. In favour of the reading „wieś” speaks the ending in „ś” (not in „ść”) and the fixed formula of T94 in this card index („wieś Dąbrowskiego” card, „wieś Łaskiego” card, „wieś Annonin” card, „wieś Kierszkow” card 2), „wieś Sarnow” card 2). The reading „włość” cannot, however, be excluded, and I report this to the owner. In T₀89 on the same card there stands a shorter, two-letter form, „wś,”.
O83 O83A description of 1783 [the expansion of the siglum to be confirmed]
A characterisation of the village, not a list of hearths — hence the hearths figure is empty. I read the number in brackets as the Roman „IX” (with a stroke above), as with the other villages. The card gives no forename — only the surname remains, in the form „Cieciszowskiego”. THE INN is NAMED here, but not divided into hearths, so it goes into the annotations (the same as on cards 1), 238 and 240), not into the breakdown of buildings; the division of hearths with the inns is handled by T89. The line — the last on the card — ends with a semicolon just before the edge of the card stock, and nothing follows it; this is the same line that shows through the card stock of card 2) (Ciosna).
