„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.

The year 1789 stands twice in the table, and rightly so: these are two different sources. The register gives the hearths, the list of parcel-holders does not — which is why the list carries a dash and not a zero, and the hearths of 1789 are not counted twice.

The card-index entries

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.

BzówZbuczyn parish

Brzowski«Obeykowicz»
1775Hearth tax register 1775
T751 hearth10) cz. Brozowskich Obeykowiczow " 1,card 1)
The card gives no forenames — the plural of the surname with the byname alone („Brozowskich Obeykowiczow”), so it is one collective entry-word. The surname is written without a „z” after „B”: „Brozowskich”; in the hearth tax card index „Brzozowski” is attested. The byname „Obeykowicz” [reading uncertain] — it is not in the dictionary of the area.

A BREWERY AND AN INN counted as hearths; both words written over in black ink after an erasure, the reading under magnification is certain. Surname [reading uncertain]: „Brzoskiego” — the same illegible tangle of „rz”/„zr” after „B” as in T90 B) on card 2, but there a „w” also stands after the „o” („Brzowskiego”). I record each form as it stands on its own card.

the same entry also names: Brzowski Walenty2 persons on a holding without hearths

„ssrów” = sukcessorów, of the successors. The second person is not a co-possessor, but the one who took the oath for this holding („zaprzys.”) — the same Walenty Brzowski who has a holding of his own in entry 2. I record him in the list of persons, because the card names him, but without the status of possessor.

the same entry also names: Brzowski Adam †2 persons on a holding without hearths

„ssrów” = sukcessorów, of the successors. The second person is not a co-possessor, but the one who took the oath for this holding („zaprzys.”) — the same Walenty Brzowski who has a holding of his own in entry 2. I record him in the list of persons, because the card names him, but without the status of possessor.
BrzowskiWalenty
1790Hearth tax register 1790
T901 hearthholdingB) cz. Walentego Brzowskiego z bracią ———— 1 "card 2)
Surname [reading uncertain]: after „B” the sequence „rz”/„zr” cannot be resolved — „Brzowskiego” or „Bzowskiego”. In the castle-court books of Łuków „Bzowsk” is attested; in the hearth-tax card index „Brzozowski”, and on card 1 of this village (T75 entry 10) stands „Brozowskich”. The wording „z bracią” — brothers without forenames, one holding, one hearth; I do not open separate records for them, because the card does not name them.
BrzowskiWalenty
1794Hearth tax register 1794
T941 hearthholdingcz. Walentego Brzowskiego z bracią 1 d.;card 5)

Here the surname is legible without doubt: „Brzowskiego”, with a „w” before „-skiego” — this confirms the reading from T90 B) on card 2 and differs from „Brzoskiego” in T89 B) on card 3. „z bracią” — brothers without forenames, one holding, one hearth.

Radzików WielkiZbuczyn parish

BrzowskiPaweł
1790Hearth tax register 1790
T901 hearthG) cz. Brzowskiego Pawła ———— 1 „card 3)
on the card the surname stands before the forename. The surname [reading uncertain]: after the „B” one syllable fewer is visible than in the full form — I read „Brzowskiego”, but it can just as well be read „Brwowskiego”. The same Paweł returns twice in the full form: T89 12) on card 5) („cz. Pawła Brzozowskiego 1 dwór”) and T94 on card 7) („cz. Pawła Brzozowskiego 1 d.”, the extract of agent C). The same wavering occurs in Radzików Kornica (T90 „Bzowskiego”, T94 „Brzozowskiego”). I do not impose a decision.
