Kwasy

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.

One entry shared by two villages. The T75 extract on this village’s card (item 1) covers this village together with the village of Zawady — the tariff does not separate them. It stays on both cards in full, but enters the totals once, at the village of Zawady; otherwise the year would count these hearths twice. That is why the T75 year is absent from the table below.

Offices: Niemira (wife of the standard-bearer of the Mielnik Land (chorążyna ziemi mielnickiej)

spellings on the cards: Kwasy, Kwassy, Kwasty, Iwanow Kwasy, Iwanow-Kwasy, Iwanow kwiasy, Iwanow kwasy, Iwanów Kwasy

Caveats on the years' registers (1)

What the compiler noted beside the entry itself, and what the table above does not show:

V48 — The only extract from a source in the list of sigla that this card carries. The remaining two lines are a cartographic note („Perth. – Iwanow kwasy.”) and a cross-reference („Zob. Kwassy.”), which I do not set up as lists — they are not in the card index's register of sources.

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.

1789 T₀89List of possessors of holdings of 1789

NiemiraAntoni

T₀89T₀89 – Kwasy i Zawady. Antoniego Niemiery – zob. Krzesk Stary

A list of possessors of holdings of 1789 — with the siglum T₀89 the hearths figure is as a rule empty, and all the more so here, since the line refers onward in any case. TWO THINGS AT ONCE: (a) the list treats Kwasy and Zawady as a single whole in the hands of Antoni Niemiera — just as the 1775 register counts the two villages together; (b) for the substance of the entry it refers to the village of Krzesk Stary („zob. Krzesk Stary”, added on a second line, lower and to the right, beneath the surname). This card does not name propination — but the card to which it refers (Krzesk Stary, T₀89, card 3) records the propination of Antoni Niemiera and his brother outright „ze wsi Zawad i Kwasów”. The note therefore stands at the entry for Krzesk Stary, because that is where the card index writes it, and not here. The siglum is a looped T with a zero index (T₀89 = the year 1789, the list of possessors), not „Po99” and not the T89 register, which has its own separate line on the same card.

The card writes „Antoniego Niemiery”; in the nominative Antoni Niemiera. The list gives here neither office nor legal status — unlike O83, which six lines above calls Niemierzyna the wife of the standard-bearer of the Mielnik Land (chorążyna ziemi mielnickiej). I do not add her office to him.

O83 O83A description of 1783 [the expansion of the siglum to be confirmed]

Niemira„Nięmięrzyny”wife of the standard-bearer of the Mielnik Land (chorążyna ziemi mielnickiej)

O83hereditary ownerO83 (IX) – Iwanow Kwasy – wieś Nięmięrzyny, chorążyny ziemi mielnickiej;

A short description of the village, without figures and without buildings, hence the hearths figure empty. The number in brackets I read as the Roman „IX” (I + X, with a stroke above and below) — just as with Karcze, Krasusy Łęcznowola and Ruska Wola. THE NAME OF THE VILLAGE in this line has a two-part form, „Iwanow Kwasy”, not known from the rest of the card; the capital letter of the first part is written with a loop descending below the line of writing, that is in the form which this hand reserves for „J”/„Y” and not for „I” — literally it can be read „Ywanow”/„Jwanow”; I write „Iwanow” [reading uncertain]. The construction „wieś X-a, urząd” denotes the owner of the village (just as in the O83 line for Gozd: „wieś Stefana Domaszewskiego, skarbnika łukowskiego”), hence the note „dziedzic”. The line runs on to a second line, which holds only „mielnickiej;”.

A WOMAN. The card gives no forename of her own — it names her solely by a husband-derived form of the surname in the genitive, „Nięmięrzyny”, and by her husband's office in the feminine form, „chorążyny ziemi mielnickiej”. Hence the given name is empty, and the recorded form of the name is copied literally from the card, with ogonki under both „e” (literally „Nięmięrzyny”); the headword form of the surname: Niemierzyna, the wife of Niemiera. I do not expand the office beyond what stands there: „chorążyna ziemi mielnickiej”. I do not join her with Antoni Niemiera from T₀89 on the same card — that is the task of a later stage — but the surname is the same.
