Extracts from outside the registers

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

P.card 1)P. – Wola Domaszewska, Held.

note: A cartographical line, the second on the card, immediately below S87. The sigla „P.” (Perthées) and „Held.” (Heldensfeld) are from outside the list of the eight sigla, so the extract does not enter the reckoning of hearths. ONE LINE, TWO SIGLA: „P.” stands at the beginning, after a dash the name „Wola Domaszewska”, and „Held.” is added at the END of the same line, already without a form of the name of its own — the compiler recorded in this way the agreement of the two maps. This is a different arrangement from that at Cieszkowizna (card), where „P.” and „Held.” have a separate line each. THE NAME: „Wola Domaszewska”, and so „Wola”, not „Wólka” — both maps record this village under the element „Wola”; the letter after „Wo” is the tall loop of an „l”, not a „b”. The extract gives neither hearths nor any person. There are NO lines „Top.”, „MP”, „Ls” or „St.89”, nor „V48”, on the cards of this village — checked on all ten strips of both cards.

spellings on the cards: Wólka Domaszewska, Wólka Domaszowska, Wulka Domaszowska, Domaszewska Wólka, Domaszewska, Wola Domaszewska

the village (O83 calls it a „wioska”) of Antoni Nowosielski, master of the hunt of Wizna (łowczy wiski), hereditary [O83 (IX), card 2)] — but all three registers of the years 1789–1794 assign the inheritance to Paweł Domaszewski, pantler of the Łuków Land and deputy starost of the Łuków castle court, the same man who holds 49 of the 76 hearths of neighbouring Domaszewnica. Beside the holding of the hereditary lord there stands in this village a monastic holding: that of the Dominican Fathers of the Żolibór convent. Hearths: 39 in 1775 [T75, but counted TOGETHER with the monastery], 19 in 1789 [T89, the hereditary lord's holding alone — the monastic holding sent on by the note „zob. pod Żolibór”], 22 in 1790 [T90 = 20 of the hereditary lord + 2 of the monastery], 20 in 1794 [T94, the hereditary lord alone]. The buildings in 1789: a manor house, a brewery, an inn, 13 cottages with 1 householder and 3 cottages with a garden. Population 1787: 207 persons, among them 16 Jews [S87]. The name in Perthées and Heldensfeld: „Wola Domaszewska”.

These years count more here than the locality itself: 1775 — Wólka Domaszewska together with the Dominican friary. 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 (5)

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

T75 — A single-entry extract: the register of 1775 does not break this village up into holdings, but gives one combined figure for the village TOGETHER with the monastery of the Dominican Fathers. The card's total (39) is at the same time the only entry, so an arithmetical check settles nothing here — the reading „39” is confirmed by a separate magnification (the digits distinct, the figure underlined). There is no breakdown of the buildings and no surname in this extract.
T89 — One entry, and it is itself the total: the card gives „= 19 dymów.” (underlined twice) and sums nothing beyond that. The breakdown of the buildings agrees with the number of hearths: 1 manor house + 1 brewery + 1 inn + 13 cottages with 1 householder + 3 cottages with a garden = 19. THE SCOPE: T89 counts here SOLELY the hereditary holding; the monastic holding it sends on by a separate note, „zob. pod Żolibór;”, that is to the heading Żolibór elsewhere in the card index. Anyone who added here the 2 monastic hearths from T90 would count them twice.
T₀89 — The list of possessors of 1789, without hearths. The card DOES NOT NUMBER the entries — they are two successive sentences, the first with the siglum at the beginning of the line; the ordinal „0” goes to the heading line (the grange), the ordinal „1” to the second sentence (the monastic holding), just as in the T₀89 of Domaszewnica. Outside the dictionary of annotations there remains the abbreviation „panszcz.” (pańszczyzna, labour service) beside the grange — recorded only in the text of the extract. There is no brace with the vertical inscription „nie wysiewają 10 korcy” on this card, and the annotation „nie wys. 10 kor.” stands beside no entry.
T90 — The card's total „Razem. 22 dymów.—” (the figure underlined twice) agrees with the entries: 20 + 2 = 22. The only extract of this village which counts both holdings — the hereditary lord's and the monastery's — together and on one card. No entry is broken down into buildings. The words „propinacja”, „browar”, „karczma” do not occur anywhere in T90. The entries are marked with the letters a) and b), not with figures.
T94 — A two-line extract, the last on card 1), written in blue ink; below it the lower edge of the card stock, so there is no continuation. One entry, and it is itself the total. T94 records ONLY the hereditary holding (20 hearths) — of the monastic holding, which T90 counts separately (2 hearths), there is here nothing at all; hence 20 instead of 22. The figure „20” is underlined.

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.

A BREWERY and an INN — both abbreviated („brow.”, „karcz.”), both read with certainty, without magnification: the words stand in a clean, wide line, in the same order as in the T89 of Domaszewnica („1 dwór, 1 browar, 1 karczma, 1 młyn…”), and the sum of the buildings agrees with the number of hearths given by the card, which confirms the reading. There is no mill here. The card does not set a „1” before the manor house, the brewery and the inn — it writes them without a numeral, one of each; in the breakdown of buildings they are recorded as 1. The surname on this card is through „-ew-”: „Domaszewskiego” (in the T90 of the same village „Domaszowskiego”). THE CROSS-REFERENCE NOTE „zob. pod Żolibór;”: it stands in a separate, indented line beneath the total, in the same hand; the middle word is cramped and I read it as „pod” [reading uncertain — it may also be „na” or „przy”], but the sense of the cross-reference is unambiguous: the holding of the Dominican monastery of Żolibór is to be looked for under the heading Żolibór. The direction of the cross-reference itself (to Żolibór, and NOT to Domaszewnica) is certain — the name „Żolibór” is legible and agrees with „konwentu Żoliborskiego” of T90 on card 1).

T₀89propination (the right to sell drink)T₀89 – folw. w Wólce Domaszowskiej Pawła Domaszewskiego, stolnika Łukowskiego. panszcz. i propinacja;card 2)

The heading line of the extract, before the second sentence — hence the no. „0”, as in the T₀89 of Domaszewnica. It concerns the grange. PROPINATION — the word is written out in full („propinacja”), not abbreviated; the reading is certain, the letters clean, without corrections. „panszcz.” = pańszczyzna, corvée; a marker from outside the glossary I do not assume. The name of the village in the locative: „w Wólce Domaszowskiej”. The office is given here more briefly than in T89 — simply „stolnika Łukowskiego”.

1790 T90Hearth tax register 1790

T9020 hearthspł. of.a) część: Pawła Domaszowskiego stolnika Ziemi i podstarosty Łukowskiej, /pł. of./ dymów 20card 1)

The surname on this card is written through „-ow-”: „Domaszowskiego”, just as in the T75 and T90 of neighbouring Domaszewnica; in T89 and T₀89 on card 2) the same person is written „Domaszewskiego”. I leave the form of the card. THE OFFICE: the card writes „stolnika Ziemi i podstarosty Łukowskiej”, drawing both offices together into a single adjective in the feminine gender („Łukowskiej” — from „ziemi łukowskiej”); T89 expands this correctly to „stolnika ziemi i podstarosty grodzkiego łukowskiego”. This is the same Paweł Domaszewski who in Domaszewnica holds 49 hearths — but these are TWO DIFFERENT villages and two different entries, and they must not be added together as one. The figure 20 is underlined twice.

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

NowosielskiAntonimaster of the hunt of Wizna (łowczy wiski)

O83hereditary ownerO83 (IX) – Domaszewska Wólka, wioska Antoniego Nowosielskiego, łowczego wiskiego, dziedziczna;card 2)

A short description of the village, without figures and without a list of holdings, hence the hearths figure is empty. The Roman numeral in brackets („IX”) is underlined, as on the other O83 cards. The name of the village with its members transposed: „Domaszewska Wólka”, not „Wólka Domaszewska”. THE OFFICE „łowczego wiskiego”: the first letter is an „Ł” written by this hand as a „T” with a crossbar — exactly as in „Łukowskiego” on the same card (strip e, T₀89), which settles the reading; „wiski” = of the Wizna Land (Wizna). The reading was checked at a threefold magnification. A DISCREPANCY OF THE SOURCES, AND I DO NOT SMOOTH IT OVER: O83 (the description of 1783) gives as the hereditary owner Antoni Nowosielski, while all three registers of 1789–1794 (T89, T90, T94) give Paweł Domaszewski. Antoni Nowosielski appears also in neighbouring Domaszewnica, where he holds 8–10 hearths; here he is named the hereditary owner of the whole of Wólka. The decision (a change of owner between 1783 and 1789, or a mistake of the compiler) I leave to the owner of the work.

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.
