Extracts from outside the registers

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

MPMP - Poważe - do starostwa Łukowskiego.

note: The siglum „MP” is outside the list of sources — it does not enter the reckoning of hearths, just as at Trzebieszów (card ad1), Zbuczyn (card 2), Łuków (card 8) and Gręzówka (card 2). The line is short, the reading certain. The note gives neither hearths nor anyone by surname: the hearths figure null, the list of persons empty. In substance it repeats what O83 and T89 say — the belonging of the village to the starosty of Łuków.

Ls.89card 2)Ls89. ws. do star. łukowskiego; gospodarzy sześciu; łąk mało, pastwiska w smugach błotnych i zaroślach — grunta mało urodzajne,

note: The siglum „Ls.89” (the inspection of 1789, lustracja) is outside the list of sources — it does not enter the reckoning of hearths; the same siglum stands at Kot Wiśniowski (card) and at Gręzówka (cards 2)–657). The extract gives neither a hearth nor a surname: the hearths figure null, the list of persons empty. This is A DESCRIPTION OF THE LAND AND OF THE SETTLEMENT — these are not hearths and it enters into no total. „gospodarzy sześciu” — the reading confirmed by the reckoning: T89 on card counts in this village exactly „6 chat. o 1 gosp.”. „zaroślach” — checked at threefold magnification; the letters „-ośl-” with the stroke over the „ś” are clear. „łąk mało” — the word „łąk” is written with a very long ligature, legible only when set beside the rest of the sentence.

St.89card 2)St89 ws- do star. łukowskiego w pos. Sebastyana Dłuskiego star. grod. łukowskiego — 30 l. kat. (16 m., 14 k.); w tym gosp.: (6 m., 6 k.; 9 syn., 6 cór.); służący luźni: (1 m., 2 k.); 4 l. żyd. (2 m., 2 k.); = karczmarz;

note: The siglum „St.89” is outside the list of sources — it does not enter the reckoning of hearths; the same siglum and the same formula stand at Łuków on card 8) („St.89 - Sienciaszka, Poważe i wójtostwo łukowskie - do star. Łukow. w pos. Sebastyana Dłuskiego star. grod. Łukow.”). The forename is written on the card „Sebastyana” — I leave the spelling of the card. THE RECKONING OF THE POPULATION CLOSES TWICE OVER, and it is this that confirms the whole reading of this extract: 16 men + 14 women = 30 Catholics; broken down into groups, 6 householders + 9 sons + 1 servant = 16 men, and 6 housewives + 6 daughters + 2 women servants = 14 women. The figure „30” is heavily corrected on the card (written over), but it follows without remainder from the components and therefore I do not mark it as uncertain. Jews: 4 persons (2 m., 2 k.) — beside them the card sets an equals sign and one word: „karczmarz”. THE READING OF THE WORD „KARCZMARZ” IS CERTAIN, checked at fivefold magnification; it means that the whole four-person Jewish family in the village is the innkeeper's family. The word before „pos.” is written with a glyph which can just as well be read „po”; I take „w pos.” after the wording of the same formula on card 8) [reading uncertain]. THE DISCREPANCY WITH THE CENSUS OF 1787 (S87 on card: 49 l. + 12 ż. = 61) is large and remains untouched — these are two different censuses, each with its own reckoning that closes.

Without an extract for 1775 and 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.

Caveats on the years' registers (1)

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

T90 — The whole T90 extract is written in pale blue ink, unlike the rest of the card (black). The card gives no total of its own beside it — the only figure that stood in it is the one not read.

This locality in the full edition of the hearth-tax registers — together with a search across all persons, a modern map, Perthées’s engraving of 1786 and a statistical summary.
