a village of part-holding nobility alone, with no lord's manor house: „cząstki szlacheckie” (noble holdings) [O83 (IX)]. Hearths: 7 in 1775 [T75], 10 in 1789 [T89], 7 in 1790 [T90] and 7 in 1794 [T94]. One establishment in the whole card index of the village: 1 inn beside Adam Okniński's holding in T89 (1 manor house, 1 inn, 1 cottage with 1 householder, 1 cottage without a garden = 4 d.). No card of this village mentions a brewery, a mill, a distillery or a propination. In 1789 two holdings have no census: „nie wysiewa 10 korcy” beside Kazimierz Czerski, and „nie wysiewają 10 k[orcy]” beside Franciszek Chromiński and Bartłomiej Tchorzewski [T₀89]. Population 1787: 29 people, without Jews [S87]. The name does not occur in Perthées — V48 records only „Kijki”.

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
a woman; a husband-derived form without a forename of her own. The copyist wrote „Woycie” and added in braces „{chowy}” — the braces are his own completion of the expanded abbreviation; into the recorded form of the name goes only „Woyciechowy”. The surname on the card in the feminine form („Czerskiey”).
1789 T89Hearth tax register 1789
„z rzescią” [reading uncertain] — the word read at tenfold magnification; the first letter could equally well be „w”. The same formula already stands in the card index at other villages, and is likewise uncertain there: „z rzeszczą na wsi Pogonowie” (Krasusy Łęcznowola, T89) and „z rzescią na wsi Sokulu”. Sense: Okniński's holding is joined with a property lying in the village of Zabłocie. The surname „Oknińskiego” is reworked — the first letters are written over something, with a thick blot on the „k”; the reading rests on the shape of the ending and on the form Okniński attested in the area. Two cottages of different kinds: „1 chał. o 1 gosp.” and „1 chał. bez ogrod.” — the word „bez” added above the line (a copyist's insertion with an insertion mark); in the breakdown of buildings both are counted together as „chaty: 2”, because the card's own arithmetic 1+1+2 = 4 d. agrees.
the only entry in which the forename stands AFTER the surname, and abbreviated: „Chromieńskiego Marc.”. I do not expand the abbreviation — „Marc.” may be Marcin, Marceli or Marcjan; the surname is in the masculine, so the person is a man. The headword form of the surname: Chromiński.
the forename abbreviated „Anton.”; a blot on the surname as in T90 on card 1) — the reading is certain from comparison with T75 of the same village
the same entry also names: Czerski Wojciech †2 persons on 2 hearths
a collective entry: two groups of successors, 1 manor each; in brackets the card writes „każde po 1 dworze” (yes, with „e”)
the same entry also names: Czerski Kazimierz †2 persons on 2 hearths
a collective entry: two groups of successors, 1 manor each; in brackets the card writes „każde po 1 dworze” (yes, with „e”)
1789 T₀89List of possessors of holdings of 1789
the forename recorded on this card without an „e” — „Matusza” instead of „Mateusza”; checked under tenfold magnification on both occurrences of this card in the index (380 and 381) and set beside the word „Mateusza” from the T94 line on the same card, where the loop of the „e” is clear, and here it is absent [reading uncertain]. This is the same possessor who stands in T75, T90, T89 and T94 as Mateusz Radzikowski.
A DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE SIGLA, which I do not smooth over: in T₀89 (the list of possessors from 1789) Kazimierz Czerski appears as a living possessor of a holding, whereas in T89 (the register of that same year, 1789) and in T90 and T94 there already stand „the successors of Kazimierz Czerski”. The annotation „nie wysiewa 10 korcy” concerns this one entry alone — it stands after a dash beside his surname, and not beside the two preceding ones. T₀89 has no propination, brewery or inn for this village.
the line ends with the conjunction „i”, and the predicate stands only at the next entry and is in the PLURAL („nie wysiewają 10 k[orcy]”) — the annotation thus covers both holdings, Chromiński's and Tchorzewski's. The masculine forename „Franciszka”, the surname „Chromińskiego” — the same as in T94, differently from T90 („Franciszki Chromieńskiej”); I do not smooth over the difference.
„10 k[orcy]” — the end of the word breaks off at the right-hand edge of the card; the completion is certain from the full wording of the formula on card 3). On the card „Tchorzewskiego” (without a stroke over the o); headword form: Tchórzewski.
1790 T90Hearth tax register 1790
a woman: the feminine forename „Franciszki” and the surname in the feminine form „Chromieńskiej”. The headword form in nazwiska.json: Chromiński (variant „Chromieński”).
on the surname a large ink blot covers one letter; the reading is certain thanks to T75 entry 1 („Antoniego Rzązewskiego”), where the same surname stands cleanly
on the card „Tchorzewskiego” (without a stroke over the o); the headword form: Tchórzewski
in T75 (1775) Kazimierz Czerski is still alive and holds a holding of 1 hearth; in T90 (1790) his successors already stand in his place
1794 T94Hearth tax register 1794
A DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE SIGLA, which I do not smooth away: T94 has here a MAN — „Franciszka Chromińskiego” (the masculine genitive, the surname in the form „Chromińskiego”), while T90 on card 1) has in the same place a WOMAN — „Franciszki Chromieńskiej”. Both words are read under magnification and compared with each other; the endings are unambiguous („-a …-iego” here, „-i …-iej” there). The stem of the surname also differs: „Chromińskiego” (T94) against „Chromieńskiej” (T90). The decision whether this concerns two persons (say, a widow and a son) or a slip in one of the registers I leave to the owner.
on the card „Tchorzewskiego” (without a stroke over the o); the headword form: Tchórzewski
