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.

THE ONLY NUMBER OF HEARTHS SET OUT IN FULL ON BOTH CARDS OF WESÓŁKA. The buildings sum up exactly: 1 manor house + 1 brewery + 2 inns + 7 cottages with 1 householder + 1 cottage with a garden + 1 cottage without a garden = 13 hearths, and that is what the card gives („= 13 d.”, underlined with a double wavy stroke). The figure „7” before „chat.” is ADDED ABOVE THE LINE, with an insertion mark — the copyist added it after the fact; without it the reckoning would not close, so the addition is a correction of substance, not an ornament. The words „brow.” (a brewery) and „2 karcz.” (two inns) were checked at fourfold magnification and are certain; the word „propinacja” this line DOES NOT CONTAIN. „Z częścią na Sobiczach złączona” — a holding in the village of Sobicze is reckoned into this estate complex; the name Sobicze is confirmed by the cards of Krzesk Stary (T90: „…na obu Krzeskach, Wesołce i Sobiczach”).

The card writes „Kazimierza Zaliwskiego”; in the nominative Kazimierz Zaliwski. A GRAPHIC DECISION WHICH I DO NOT SMOOTH OVER: in this hand „n” and „w” are written identically — with two pointed arcs (checked comparatively against „na” and „wieś” in the same line and against „Zawady” in the line above), so that literally this word can be read both „Zaliwskiego” and „Zalińskiego” [reading uncertain as to one letter]. I choose „Zaliwski”, because the cards of Krzesk Stary (cards 1)–287) carry the same person at the same 13 hearths and at the same Sobicze — „cz. Kazim. Zaliwskiego i brata z cz. na obu Krzeskach, Wesołce i Sobiczach — 13” (T90) — and „Zaliwski” is the model form in `nazwiska.json`. The brother whom those cards name this card does NOT name.

the same entry also names: Zaliwski2 persons on a holding without hearths

A short characterization 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 at Krzesk Stary, Kwasy and Karcze. The line runs through THREE rows: „…cząstki szlacheckie; części dwie: jedna” / „Niemierzyny, chorążyny ziemi mielnickiej; druga” / „Zaliwskich;”. The word „cząstki” has a clear tail under the „ą” (checked at eightfold magnification) — it is „cząstki”, not „częstki”. THE ANNOTATION `dziedzic` I DO NOT ADD: the card index writes here „cząstki szlacheckie”, and not „wieś X-a”, and the same was done throughout the study at other part-held villages; both persons are owners of the two holdings, but the card does not use the word of hereditary ownership.

A WOMAN. The card gives no forename of her own — it names her solely by the husband-derived form of the surname in the genitive and by her husband's office in the feminine form („chorążyny ziemi mielnickiej”), and therefore the given name is empty, and the form from the card stands in the recorded form of the name. THE WRITING OF THE SURNAME [reading uncertain]: the hand is compressed in this place and literally allows the reading „Nimirzyny” (without either „e”); I write „Niemierzyny”, because the same formula — „Nięmięrzyny, chorążyny ziemi mielnickiej” — stands in O83 at Kwasy (card) and at Krzesk Królowa Niwa, and `nazwiska.json` has a settlement merging Niemiera / Niemira / Niemierzyna under the headword Niemiera. The headword form: Niemierzyna, the wife of Niemiera. I do not link her with any person from other years — that is a separate stage.

Zaliwski

the same entry also names: Niemierzyna2 persons on a holding without hearths

The card names this party SOLELY by the surname in the plural and in the genitive — „druga Zaliwskich” — without a forename, so the given name and the recorded form of the name are empty (this is not a husband-derived form). The same graphic ambiguity as on card 1): „n” and „w” are written identically in this hand, with two arcs, so that literally „Zalińskich” does just as well [reading uncertain as to one letter]; I choose „Zaliwski” after the cards of Krzesk Stary (cards 1)–287), where the same family holds holdings at Wesółka, and after the model form in `nazwiska.json`. Who exactly — from T89 on card 1) it is known that Kazimierz, and from the T90/T94 of Krzesk Stary that Kazimierz „i brat jego”; O83 does not specify this and I do not add it here.
