Hearth Tax Registers of the Łuków Land 1775–1794
Krzymosze
Parish of Zbuczyn, 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.
Offices: Kuczyński (deputy cupbearer of Mielnik (podczaszy mielnicki) · wife of the chamberlain of the Drohiczyn Land (podkomorzyna ziemi drohickiej))
More than five hearths in one hand: Kuczyński (48)
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: A one-line note on the form of the name, without hearths and without persons — the same type of record as „MP”, „Top.”, „Held.” or „P.” on other cards, and so it does not enter the reckoning of hearths. The first part of the siglum I read as „Sł.” (a letter whose ascender has a loop crossed by a stroke — „ł”, not „t”), the second as „G.”; together most probably Słownik Geograficzny [the reading of the expansion uncertain — the card index does not explain its sigla, and in the corpus so far „Sł. G.” does not occur once]. The content of the note matters for the name: it confirms that „Bayki” is a BYNAME of the village of Krzymosze and not a separate place — and „Krzymosze Bayki” of T94 and „Krzymosze Bayki i Ciepiele” of T90 must be read in that way too.
spellings on the cards: Krzymosze, Krzymosze Bayki, Krzymosze Bayki i Ciepiele, Krzymoszyce

Without an extract for 1789 — 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.
1790 T90Hearth tax register 1790
1794 T94Hearth tax register 1794
One item for the whole village, the numbering „1” editorial. Here the card gives neither forename nor office — the surname alone; the office „podczaszy mielnicki” comes from T90 and I do not add it here. Over the „n” no stroke is visible, so I normalise to „Kuczyński”. The number of hearths is the same as in T90 (48), although T94 names the village more narrowly — „Krzymosze Bayki”, without Ciepiele and without the holding in the village of Wielgorze. The figure „48” underlined; after it the card sets a full stop and a semicolon.
O83 O83A description of 1783 [the expansion of the siglum to be confirmed]
A WOMAN — and the only person on the whole card written in a feminine form: the surname in the feminine genitive („Kuczynskiej”), and beside it the husband-derived title „podkomorzyny ziemi drohickiej” (podkomorzyna = the wife or the widow of the chamberlain of Drohiczyn). The card gives no forename, so the given name is empty; this is not a husband-derived form standing in place of a forename, but the absence of a forename, so I leave the recorded form of the name empty as well. Over the „n” in „Kuczynskiej” I see no stroke (in the T90 line the stroke over the „ń” is there) — I normalise to „Kuczyńska”, but I record it. A DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE YEARS WHICH I DO NOT SMOOTH OVER: O83 (1783) gives the village to a WOMAN and to the title of podkomorzyna of DROHICZYN, while T90 (1790) and T94 (1794) — to a man, T90 titling him deputy cupbearer of MIELNIK. Two different offices and two different sexes; the merging of persons is a separate, later stage, so I record both wordings as they stand. The name of the village in the form „Krzymoszyce” — the only such occurrence on the card. The word „ziemi” is carried over to the next line („zie-mi”); I write it with the hyphen as on the card. The number in brackets I read as the Roman „IX”, just as with Karcze, Ruska Wola and Krasusy Łęcznowola.
