Dear reader, remember that this is an AI study, that it may contain errors; treat it as indicative and verify it for yourself.
„Separate entries for persons” means: separate entries of a given name with a surname and a byname, not persons proved to have existed. The same man recorded in four registers is one entry, but two namesakes from the same village are sometimes impossible to tell apart, and over twenty years a parcel could pass to a son of the same name. The hearths given at a collective entry are an equal division among those named — a calculation, not a reading.
| Year | Source | Entries | Persons | Hearths |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| 1789 | List of possessors of holdings of 1789 | 2 | 2 | — |

No entry from 1789. This is the absence of the surname in the cards transcribed so far, not proof that the family was not there then: in the card file the 1794 register covers fewer villages than the others, and the 1775 one sometimes counts a whole starosty in a single entry, without surnames.
The localities in which the card file records this surname, with the number of entries and of the hearths falling to it in each village.
All the extracts for this surname in the wording of the cards. One block is one occurrence: this person, in this register. In a collective entry the same text of the card stands beside every person named — because the card names them together, and they must not be separated.
the surname Benedyktowicz occurs neither in nazwiska.json nor in SLOWNIK-OKOLICY; the reading of the letters is certain.
the same entry also names: Radzikowski Józef2 persons on 5 hearths
Grzegorz Benedyktowicz is recorded here without the surname Radzikowski; T90 (card 2) has the same holding as „A) cz. Benedyktowicza”, so „Benedyktowicz” I treat as a surname, not as a byname.
outside the brace; the only entry of this card written in BLACK ink — an addition by another hand or from another time than the three preceding ones (blue). The holding is referred to Radzików Oczki — when merging it is NOT to be counted twice
the same person whom T94 on card 7 gives without a forename („cz. Benedyktowicza 3 d.”). The surname „Benedyktowicz” is neither in nazwiska.json nor in SLOWNIK-OKOLICY.md — new, to be reported
the card gives no forename; T75 on card 1) names in this village „Grzegorza Benedyktowicza”
the card gives no forename in this place; T₀89 on card 9 calls him „Grzegorza Benedyktowicza” and refers to Radzików Oczki. The surname „Benedyktowicz” is neither in nazwiska.json nor in SLOWNIK-OKOLICY.md
