Kąkolewnica

In the card index under the name Kąkolownica. Parish of Trzebieszów, łukowski county.

Dear reader, remember that this is an AI study, that it may contain errors; treat it as indicative and verify it for yourself.

Propination, inns, breweries: Rudnicka (brewery, inn)

More than five hearths in one hand: Rudnicka (115)

Extracts from outside the registers

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

note: The figures „czterech” (the village headmen) and „103” (the settled homesteads of householders, village headmen and others) are the state of settlement, NOT hearths — they do not enter the the hearths figure field, although 103 agrees with „103 chat. o 1 gosp.” from T89 on card 2) (that, however, is a different source and I do not merge it). The forename „Kunegundy” is added above the line and taken into a loop marking the place of insertion before „Rudnickiej”. „Żakowa Wola” here in two words, with a dot over the Ż. The line about the Kąkolewnica forest breaks off at the end of the card and is taken up again on card 4).

note: An extract without hearths and without surnames — nothing but a description of the forests and pastures of the starosty. „2/ las” is underlined, as is „1/ kąkolewski” on card 3) and the heading „lesy star. kąkolownickiego:”. Words divided at the ends of the lines by a double-stroke mark („złą=czony”, „trzebie=szowskiej”) — I join them up in the record. The struck-out „sołtysów 4-ch.” I keep in square brackets, because it is a trace of the author's work, not the content of the source.

Without an extract for 1794 — 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.

These years count more here than the locality itself: 1775 — the whole starosty of Kąkolewnica — villages in the parishes of Radzyń, Trzebieszów and Kąkolewnica. Such a figure must not be set beside the other years as two measurements of the same locality — these are different units of account, not a loss of hearths.

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.

T89115 hearths1 manor house, 1 parsonage, 1 brewery, 1 inn, 111 cottagespossessorT89 - starostwo kąkolownickie, dożywotnie Rudnickiej, do tego należą wsie: Kąkolewnica, Ruska Wola, Lipniaki, Dębowierzchy, Brzozowica; Żakowa Wola; wieś Kąkolewnica - dwór, plebanja, brow., karcz., 103 chat. o 1 gosp., 3 chat. bez gruntu i ogrodu, 5 chat. z ogrod., = 115 dym.card 2)
The hearths concern the village of Kąkolewnica itself („wieś Kąkolewnica - dwór, …”), not the whole starosty: the list of villages stands here only to explain how far the starosty reaches. The breakdown: manor house 1 + parsonage 1 + brewery 1 + inn 1 + 103 cottages with 1 householder + 3 cottages without land or garden + 5 cottages with a garden = 115, which agrees with the underlined total „= 115 dym.” and with the total of T90 (115 + 1 hearth of the parish priest = 116); in the the breakdown of buildings field the three groups of cottages are added into one field „chaty” = 111. The possessor is named by the surname alone in the feminine form („dożywotnie Rudnickiej”), and the card gives no forename. The sigla: before „T89” stands a struck-out sign, which I take for a struck-out „0” — I accept T89, not T₀89 (see the note on the card).

1790 T90Hearth tax register 1790

Rudnicka
T90115 hearthspossessorT90. a) dobra król., starostwo kąkolewnickie, w poses. dożyw. Rudnickiej; — należą do niego wsie: Kąkolewnica; Ruska Wola; Lipniaki; Brzozowica; Dębowierzchy, Żakowa Wola; oraz folwark w Rudniku. — Kąkolewnica — 115 dymów wiejskich 2giej klasy; —card 1)
The possessor for life is named by the surname alone in the feminine form — „Rudnickiej”; the card gives no forename in this place (it is given only by Ls. 89 on card 3): „Kunegundy Rudnickiej”, but I do not merge that). The form is unambiguously feminine, not „Rudnickiego” — checked under magnification. O83 (IX) on card 2) gives the leaseholder in the masculine form („Józefa Antoniego Rudnickiego”); I do not unify the gender. The hearths concern the village of Kąkolewnica itself — the list of the villages of the starosty stands here only to explain how far the starosty reaches, and the figure 115 stands after the repeated name „Kąkolewnica”. The figure 115 is underlined. „Kąkolewnica” in the list of villages without a clear ogonek [reading uncertain]; „Żakowa Wola” with a dot over the Ż.
