the wordings on the cards: Olendy, Olędy

district of łukowski · parish of Zbuczyn · cards 1), 2), 3), 4)

a petty-noble village: „cząstki szlacheckie” (noble holdings) [O83 (IX)] — with no larger holding, unlike neighbouring Grodzisko. In 1775 an appurtenance of Grodzisko („Olendy przyłączone do Grodziska”), seven holdings, 20 hearths [T75]; in 1789–1794 eight to nine holdings and consistently 14 hearths [T89, T90, T94]. The largest holding, Wojciech Krasuski's: 1 manor house, 1 brewery, 1 inn, 3 cottages with 1 householder each = 6 hearths [T89], propination [T₀89]. The surname Olędzki — formed from the name of the village — appears only in the 1789–1794 registers. Three of the nine holdings had no property census: „nie wysiewa 10 korcy” and twice „podobnież” [T₀89]. Population 1787: 65 l. + 4 ż. = 69 l. [S87]. The holding of Antoni Cieciszowski, castellan of Połaniec, lying at Olędy, is counted not here but under Czuryty [T90 and T89 cross-refer: „Olędy - zob Czuryty”, „= 14 d. - zob. Czuryty”].

Caveats on the years' registers (5)

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

T75 — The total line: „Razem dymów 20” (the figure underlined twice). 5+2+2+2+1+1+7 = 20 — it agrees. THE HEADING CARRIES A CROSS-REFERENCE BACK TO GRODZISK: „Olendy przyłączone do Grodziska.” (Olendy attached to Grodzisk) — this is the counterpart of the lone line „zob. Olendy.” on card 1) (Grodzisk). Despite this formula Olendy has here its OWN, separate list of holdings and its own total of 20 hearths, while Grodzisk has its own (31 hearths in T75) — the two totals are disjoint.
T89 — The extract is written CONTINUOUSLY, without numbering — eight holdings separated by en-dashes; the numbers „1–8” are editorial. The total line does not stand apart, but closes the last holding: „… 1 d. = 14 d.” (the figure underlined twice). The reckoning: 6 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 14 — it agrees. A SECOND CROSS-REFERENCE TO CZURYTY, THIS TIME AFTER THE TOTAL: after „= 14 d.” stands „ - zob. Czuryty;”. Fourteen hearths therefore does NOT include the holding of Cieciszowski lying at Olędy — this one is counted in T89 under Czuryty („Czuryty, Antoniego Cieciszewskiego kaszt. połanieckiego z włościami na Olędach i Radzikowie Stopkach złączona … = 20 d.”). I record the cross-reference at the last entry, in whose line it stands.
T₀89 — A list of possessors of holdings from 1789 — without hearths and without a total; the hearths figure for every entry = null. The entries are unnumbered, each beginning with „cz.”; the numbers „1–9” are editorial. NINE HOLDINGS, where T89 and T94 count eight: T₀89 lists Elżbieta Olędzka separately, while T90 and T94 join her with Marcin in a single entry („po 1 dymie”). Faustyn Krasuski, in turn, who in T89 stands beside Wojciech at the six-hearth holding, is not known to T₀89. Three annotations on the property census („nie wysiewa 10 korcy”, twice „podobnież”) — three of the nine holdings had no census. The only propination in the village stands beside Wojciech Krasuski. This transcript has NO cross-reference to Czuryty, although T90 and T89 do have one.
T90 — The list is spread over two cards: entries A–C on card 1), D–H on card 2) under the line „c.d. T90.–”. The total line: „Razem = 14 dymów wiejskich 2giej klasy;-” (the number underlined twice). The reckoning: B 1 + C 1 + D 1 + E 1 + F 2 + G 2 + H 6 = 14 — it agrees. ENTRY A DOES NOT ENTER THE TOTAL: it is a bare cross-reference („Olędy - zob Czuryty.”), without a person and without a figure; the hearths of Cieciszowski's holding lying at Olędy are counted in T90 for Czuryty (20 hearths „z cz. na Radzikowie Stopkach i Olędach”).
T94 — The entries are without numbering, separated by semicolons — the numbers „1–7” are editorial. The total line: „Razem 14 dymów;” (the figure underlined twice). The reckoning: 6 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 14 — it agrees. T94 HAS NO CROSS-REFERENCE TO CZURYTY, though it gives the same figure of 14 hearths as T90 and T89, which do have it. The personal composition is meanwhile identical to T89 both by person and by number of hearths, only the order of the entries is changed.

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

Jastrzębski

The card gives no forename. The entry begins with the word written out in full, „część.”, the further entries with the abbreviation „cz.”.

the same entry also names: Sobol Wojciech2 persons on 2 hearths

The second person is a woman named solely by the husband-derived form („Tomaszowej wdowy”) — the card gives no forename of her own; I do not expand it. The surname in the plural genitive „Sobolów”, nominative „Sobol” (a form attested in the castle-court books of Łuków).

SobolWojciech

LeskowiczKazimierz

T751 hearth6) cz. Kazimiera Leskowicza dym 1card 1)

The card writes the genitive of the forename as „Kazimiera” (not „Kazimierza”) — the record is carried over literally into the text of the extract, in the given name the nominative „Kazimierz”. The surname „Leskowicz” is not hitherto attested locally — the reading checked under magnification, the letters legible: L-e-s-k-o-w-i-c-z-a.

the same entry also names: Krasuski Wojciech2 persons on 6 hearths

The words „brow.” (brewery) and „karcz.” (inn) have been checked under magnification — the reading is certain. „dwór” without a numeral I count as 1: 1 + 1 + 1 + 3 = 6, in agreement with the number given. The forename „Faustyna” is the genitive of the masculine „Faustyn” (the feminine „Faustyna” would have the genitive „Faustyny”).

T892 hearths1 manor house, 1 cottagecz. Bonawentury Krasuskiego: dwór, chat. z ogr. [przekreślone: bez og. i og.] = 2 d.card 2)

The record is corrected: after „ogr.” several words are struck out with a thick stroke — I read them „bez og. i og.” [reading uncertain] — and a small „z” is added above the line, so that the final form reads „chat. z ogr.”. A cottage without a numeral I count as 1: manor house 1 + cottage 1 = 2 d., in agreement with the figure given.

OlędzkiMarcin

T891 hearthcz. Marcina Olędzkiego 1 d.card 2)

SkolimowskiTomasz

T891 hearthcz. Tomasza Skolimowskiego 1 d.card 2)

Here „Skolimowskiego”, as in T75; T90 on the same card has „Skolmowskiego”.

RzązewskaBarbara

T891 hearthcz. Barbery Rzązewskiej 1 d.card 2)

A woman. The card writes the forename „Barbery” (T90 on card 1): „Barbary”) — in the given name the nominative „Barbara”. The surname is written here with a dot over the second „z” („Rzążewskiej”), on card 1) without the dot („Rzązewskiej”); I adopt the uniform form „Rzązewska”, as decided at Modrzew. [reading uncertain — a variant of spelling]

KrasuskiAndrzej

T891 hearthcz. Andrzeja Krasuskiego 1 d.card 2)

WielgórskiJózef†

Here the surname with an „o” („Wielgorskiego”), in T90 on card 1) with a „u” („Wielgurskiego”). I record it literally, I do not merge the forms.

WysokińskiAntoni

T891 hearthcz. Anton. Wysokińskiego 1 d. = 14 d. - zob. Czuryty;card 2)

A DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE SIGLA: T89 has here a man („Anton. Wysokińskiego”), while T90 on the same card has a woman („Antoniowej Wysokińskiej”). I do not unify them. The surname carried over by a line break („Wysokiń-skiego”).

A woman: a forename of her own and the FEMININE form of the surname („Olędzkiej”) — unlike in T90 and T94, where she stands in a collective entry under the masculine plural („Olędzkich”). Here she has a separate entry of her own, whereas T90 and T94 counted her together with Marcin („po 1 dymie”).

KrasuskiWojciech

T₀89propination (the right to sell drink)cz. Wojciecha Krasuskiego - propinacja.card 4)

The word „propinacja” checked under magnification, letter by letter — the reading is CERTAIN. The propination stands beside the largest holding in the village: the same Wojciech Krasuski has 7 hearths in T75, 6 in T90 and T94, and in T89 (jointly with Faustyn) a manor house, brewery, inn and 3 cottages = 6 hearths. The brewery and inn of T89 account for the propination right.

ŁugowskiWalenty

T₀89took the oathcz. sukcow Józefa Wielgórskiego - zaprzys. Walenty Ługowskicard 4)

the same entry also names: Wielgórski Józef †2 persons on a holding without hearths

The word denoting the successors is CONTRACTED on this card: five characters with a horizontal abbreviation stroke above them; I read „sukc[esor]ów” [reading uncertain as to the letters, certain as to the sense — the remaining three sigla have at this point „sukces.” (T90), „sukc.” (T89), and the full „sukcessorów” (T94)]. „zaprzys.” = took the oath; the oath was sworn by Walenty Ługowski, the card calls him neither possessor nor guardian, so I confine the status to „took the oath” (as on cards, 184, 263, 344, 363). THE SURNAME DIFFERS FOR A THIRD TIME: here „Wielgórskiego” (with „ó”), in T89 and T94 „Wielgorskiego” (with „o”), in T90 „Wielgurskiego” (with „u”) — three forms in one village; I do not merge them.

SkolimowskiTomasz

T₀89does not sow 10 korcecz. Tomasza Skolimowskiego nie wysiewa 10 korcycard 4)

A note on the property qualification: the possessor does not sow 10 korcy. It stands in a separate column on the right-hand side; the next two lines refer back to it with the word „podobnież”.

WysokińskiAntoni

T₀89does not sow 10 korcecz. Antoniego Wysokinskiego podobnieżcard 4)

„podobnież” refers back to the note at the previous entry, that is „nie wysiewa 10 korcy” — hence this annotation. The surname is written here WITHOUT the stroke over the „n” („Wysokinskiego”), whereas T89 and T94 have „Wysokińskiego”; I record it literally. The forename in the masculine form, as in T89 and T94; only T90 (card 2) has in this place a woman („Antoniowej Wysokińskiej”).

RzązewskaBarbara

T₀89does not sow 10 korcecz. Barbary Rzązewskiej podobnieżcard 4)

A woman. „podobnież” refers back to the note „nie wysiewa 10 korcy” from entry 7. The forename „Barbary”, as in T90 and T94; T89 writes „Barbery”.

1790 T90Hearth tax register 1790

RzązewskaBarbara

T901 hearthB) cz. Barbary Rzązewskiej — 1 dym wiejski 2giej klasy;-card 1)

A woman: the forename of her own „Barbary” and the feminine form of the surname „Rzązewskiej”. The headword form „Rzązewski” is attested in the card index.

WielgurskiJózef†

T901 hearthsuccessors† deceasedC) cz. sukces. Józefa Wielgurskiego — 1 [dym wiejski 2giej klasy];-card 1)

The surname on this card is written with a „u”: „Wielgurskiego” (the forms current here: Wielgórski / Wielogórski) — I do not smooth away the wording. The number of hearths is rendered by the bare figure „1” and four repetition marks in a column — I expand them in square brackets.

Wysokińska„Antoniowej”

T901 hearthD) cz. Antoniowej Wysokińskiej ——— 1 dym wiejski 2giej klasy;-card 2)

A woman named solely by the husband-derived form („Antoniowej”) beside the feminine form of the surname („Wysokińskiej”) — the card gives no forename of her own; I do not expand it. A DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE SIGLA: T89 on the same card assigns this same one-hearth holding to a MAN — „cz. Anton. Wysokińskiego 1 d.”. I do not reconcile the two records.

SkolmowskiTomasz

T901 hearthE) cz. Tomasza Skolmowskiego ——— 1 [dym wiejski 2giej klasy];-card 2)

The surname on this card without an „i” in the second syllable: „Skolmowskiego”; T75 (card 1) and T89 (the same card) have „Skolimowskiego”. I record it literally, I do not merge the forms.

The third forename („i Wojciecha”) STRUCK OUT — I do not count him among the persons, because the arithmetic does not count him either: „po 1 dymie. 2” comes to two persons. Wojciech Krasuski, moreover, has his own six-hearth entry H on the same card.

the same entry also names: Olędzki Marcin2 persons on 2 hearths

A collective entry: the surname stands once, in the masculine plural („Olędzkich”), so I record it in this form for both persons; Elżbieta is a woman, which is recognized by the forename, not by the ending of the surname. The surname is formed from the name of the village (Olędy → Olędzki) — like Grodzicki from Grodzisko.

The forename of the first is shortened to „Bon.”; I expand it „Bon[awentura]” following T75 (card 1): „Bonawentury Krasuskiego”), T89 and T90 (card 2), where the same Bonawentura Krasuski stands with his forename in full.

A collective entry: the surname stands once, in the masculine plural („Olędzkich”), so I enter it for both persons in this form; Elżbieta is a woman, which is recognised by the forename. In T90 (card 2) the same pair in the reverse order („Elżbiety i Marcina”).

WielgórskiJózef†

T941 hearthsuccessors† deceasedcz. sukcesorów Józefa Wielgorskiego 1 d.;card 3)

Here the word „sukcesorów” in its full form (T89 on card 2) shortens it: „sukc.”, T90 on card 1): „sukces.”). The surname with an „o”, as in T89; T90 on card 1) has „Wielgurskiego”.

WysokińskiAntoni

T941 hearthcz. Antoniego Wysokińskiego 1 d.;card 3)

A PLACE WITH A CORRECTION: the ending of the forename („-ego”) and the ending of the surname („-ego”) are thickly reworked over another, blurred wording [reading uncertain as to the original form]. After the correction the MASCULINE form reads — „Antoniego Wysokińskiego” — agreeing with T89 on card 2) („cz. Anton. Wysokińskiego”); T90 on the same card 2), however, has the feminine, husband-derived form („cz. Antoniowej Wysokińskiej”). It looks as though the correction aimed at bringing it into line with T89, but the card index nowhere says so outright — I do not smooth the discrepancy away.

SkolimowskiTomasz

T941 hearthcz. Tomasza Skolimowskiego 1 d.;card 3)

Here „Skolimowskiego”, as in T75 and T89; T90 on card 2) has „Skolmowskiego”.
