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- Wolka Wisniowska - do starostwa wisniowskiego;
note: A one-line note on the affiliation, without hearths and without persons — the same type of record as „MP - Ciosna - do starostwa wiszniowskiego;” on card 1), „MP. - Karcze - do starostwa zbuczyńskiego” on card 1) and „MP - Ruska wola - do starostwa kąkolewnickiego” on card 2). The siglum is known to the card index from a dozen or so other cards; an expansion of it there is none, and I do not supply one. Here without a full stop after the siglum and without a space before the dash („MP-”). It does not enter the reckoning of hearths, in accordance with the practice of the village files so far. The adjective I read „wisniowskiego” — after „wi” stands a single character („s”), without a letter descending below the line of writing, otherwise than in the interlinear addition above T89 („klucz wiszniowski”), where the „z” with its tail is distinct.
Ls.89card 2)Ls.89. Wulka w. do star. wiśniewskiego. grunt podły, piaszczysty, łąki błotne ogrody dobre, chróst na opał. -
note: An extract under a siglum from outside the list of sources, without a single figure of hearths and without a single person — it does not enter the reckoning of hearths, just as Ls.89 at Ciosna (card 2), Baranek (cards 1)–313) and Kot Wiśniowski (card), Ls.79 at Dębowierzchy (card 3) and Lsp 89 at Trzebieszów (cards 2)–131). The siglum is written without a space, with full stops: „Ls.89.”. The opening formula is the same as at Ciosna and Karcze: „w. do star. …”, with the abbreviations „w.” (wieś, village) and „star.” (starostwa, of the starosty). THE NAME OF THE VILLAGE IN THIS EXTRACT HAS THE FORM „Wulka” — through a „u”, without an acute: after the „W” stands a character with two straight strokes joined at the foot („u”), and not a closed circle („o”); this form I do not correct to „Wólka”. [reading uncertain] beside the attribute „wiśniewskiego” — the same doubt as at the heading (see the card's the note): I read „-ewskiego”, an earlier identification proposed „-eńskiego”. THIS EXTRACT GIVES NEITHER HEARTHS, NOR HOUSEHOLDERS, NOR SETTLED HOMESTEADS, NOR ANY ESTABLISHMENT — otherwise than the Ls.79 of Dębowierzchy („brow. karcz. osiadłości gosp. 12”) and the Ls89 of Karcze („gospodarzy 6”); the description is confined to the land, the meadows, the gardens and the fuel. THERE ARE NO LABOUR DUES OF THE SUBJECTS — no draught days nor foot days, no measure in łany, and so the field the dues is left empty. „chróst na opał” I read as an indication of where the village takes its firewood from — the same formula as „lasu niema, tylko zarośla i chrósty” in the Ls.89 of Baranek (card); the word has an acute over the „o” and a crossed „t”. After the word „błotne” there is no certain mark of punctuation (a small stroke may be a comma or a trace of the pen) — I transcribe it without a comma.

spellings on the cards: Wólka Wiszniewska, Wólka Wiśniewska, Wolka Wisniowska, Wólka Wisniowska, Wolka, Wulka

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.

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.
