Extracts from outside the registers

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

Top.card 1)Top. Lipniak.

note: The name of the village alone, with no content. The heading of the card refers to this extract („obecnie w miejscu Lipniaka z Top.”).

Held.card 1)Held. Lipniak.

note: The name of the village alone, with no content.

P.card 1)P. - Lipniki.⟨znak nadpisany⟩ - do X.X. dominikanów warszawskich;
note: The form „Lipniki” (plural) — the third variant of the name in the card index; I record it in the recorded variants. Directly after the full stop stands a small sign written above in superscript, in shape resembling a struck-out „ʒ”/„z”; I cannot expand it and I DO NOT GUESS [reading uncertain — the sign is legible as to its shape, unrecognised as to its meaning]. „X.X.” = księża, the priests. An extract without hearths, and so it remains outside the reckoning of hearths.
V48card 2)V48 - Lipniak - kaplica.
note: The name of the village in the form „Lipniak” and one word of content: „kaplica”, a chapel. The chapel is confirmed independently by O83 (IX) on the same card. The extract is built exactly like the V48 beside the neighbouring Jamielnik („V48 - Jamielnik - kaplica.”, card 1) — whether the same Dominican chapel is meant or two different ones, the card index DOES NOT DECIDE, and neither do I.
O83 (IX)card 2)O83 (IX) - Lipnik, Lipniak, gdzie jest dwór X.X. dominikanów konwentu warszawskiego, przy nim ⟨4ery?⟩ chałupy chłopskie z karczmą i browarem. młynik na wiosnę mielący; Tutaj mają XX. dominikanie swoją kaplicę, gdzie mieszkający ks. ekonom odprawia nabożeństwa w każdą niedzielę i święta, prócz wielkich świąt, gdy wyjeżdża do kościoła par.;
note: The fullest description of the village on all three cards. The extract gives TWO forms of the name side by side: „Lipnik” and „Lipniak” — the form „Lipnik” I add to the recorded variants. THE WORD BEFORE „chałupy chłopskie” IS UNRESOLVED [reading uncertain]: in it stands a leading sign with a triangular, closed head on a stem — in shape answering to the figure „4” of the same hand (cf. the „4” in the siglum „V48” on this card), and not to its figure „9” (an oval with a straight tail, cf. the „89” in „T89”) — and after it, without a space and joined to it, an ending read as „-ery”. I therefore read the whole most probably as a numeral written with a figure and an ending, „4ery” = cztery, four, just as the same hand writes „2giej klasy” on card 1); but the reading IS NOT CERTAIN and I do not raise it to the rank of a finding. For the arithmetic it is of no consequence: O83 gives no hearths. „X.X.”/„XX.” = księża, the priests, „ks.” = ksiądz, a priest, „par.” = parafialnego, of the parish church. „młynik” — a diminutive of młyn, a mill, grinding only in the spring (on meltwater). The description of the chapel and of the priest-steward living beside it is twin to the O83 (IX) of the card of Jamielnik (card 2); I do not merge these two records and I do not prejudge whether one chapel is meant or two.

spellings on the cards: Piaski, Lipniak, Lipniki, Lipnik, Lipniaki

district of łukowski · parish of Tuchowicz · cards 1), 2), 3)

the estate (majętność, dobra) of Lipniak — the property of the convent of the Warsaw Dominican Fathers; a manor house, beside it peasant cottages with an inn and a brewery, and a small mill grinding in the spring; a Dominican chapel, beside which lives a priest-steward who holds the services on Sundays and feast days, save on the great feasts, when he goes out to the parish church; to the estates belong the grange of Lipniak, the villages of Jedlanka and Zagoździe, the grange of Jamielnik, the village of Szyszki and Komar (a mill), and a holding of Wólka Rożańska in the Mazovian Voivodeship; separately an inn at Lipniak, belonging to the (hereditary) estates of Zastawie [T75, T89, T90, O83 (IX), V48]

These years count more here than the locality itself: 1775 — the whole estate of the Warsaw Dominican convent. 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.

Caveats on the years' registers (2)

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

  • T89 — The same register of 1789 counts at Lipniak only what stands in Lipniak itself (5 hearths), and refers the appurtenances to their own headings — exactly as at Jamielnik („w samym Jamielniku … = 31 d. zob. Szyszki”). The figure 5 from T89 and the figure 9 from T90 (card 1), the grange of Lipniak) are TWO DIFFERENT YEARS of the register, of a slightly different scope; both have been read under magnification, both are underlined on the cards, and I smooth neither of them.
  • T90 — The T90 entry on this card covers TWO separate properties: a) the inn at Lipniak, belonging to the hereditary estate of Zastawie (2 hearths), and b) the Lipniak estate of the Dominican Fathers of the Warsaw convent, of which only the grange of Lipniak is counted here (9 rural hearths of the second class). The card GIVES NO overall total for this entry, so the total from the card = null; the total of the recorded items alone comes to 11 hearths, but that is not a figure the card declares anywhere.

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.

1794 T94Hearth tax register 1794

Stoiński
T942 hearthsinnT94. - Karczma na Lipniaku Stoińskiego, do dóbr wsi Zastawia, 2 dymy;card 3)
The only entry of this village that names a private person, and the only one that does NOT concern the Dominican estates: the inn stands „na Lipniaku”, but belongs to the estate of the village of Zastawie. The figure 2 is underlined; the numbering „1” is editorial, the card does not number its entries. The same inn and the same figure of 2 hearths stands in T90 on card 1) („karczma na Lipniaku - do dóbr Zastawie należy, dziedz. - dymów wiejskich - 2”) — two years of the register, 1790 and 1794, agree to the single hearth, which is an independent confirmation of the reading of the figure. Verification of 17 September 2026: the line examined under magnification, the buildings entered in the the breakdown of buildings field, because the card names them outright. The two hearths concern the whole inn; the the breakdown of buildings field says that there is one building. The the breakdown of buildings field serves to set the hearths out by buildings and must sum to them; here the card does not set the hearths out, so we record the building by a marker in the annotations.
The card gives no forename — only the surname in the genitive („Stoińskiego”), so the recorded form of the name remains empty (this is not a form derived from a husband's name, but simply the absence of a forename). THE SURNAME [READING UNCERTAIN]: the elements „-o-i-ń-skiego” are certain; the second letter is in dispute, written as a tall loop with a crossbar — I read it as a „t” (hence „Stoiński”), but by its shape it could just as well be an „ł” („Słoiński”). The leading letter „S” cannot be compared with any second capital „S” on this card. This surname is NOT in `nazwiska.json` — I report it as new and do not enter it myself.
