„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.

No entry from 1775. 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 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.

The card gives no forename for Czarnocki here; T90, entry 1 (card), calls him Marcin. This entry stands above the brace „nie wysiewają 10 korcy” and is not covered by it.

Two persons against eleven hearths: the holding is one — Brzozowski's — and Czarnocki holds it in pledge. The marker is written on the card „/p.ł.of./”.

A DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE SIGLA, I do not smooth it away: here the surname in the full form „Brzozowskiego”, while T90 G) on card 3) gives beside the same Paweł a shorter form, read by me as „Brzowskiego” [reading uncertain]. T94 on card 7) (the extract of agent C) has „Brzozowskiego” again.

A DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE SIGLA: T94 writes „Brzozowskiego”, while T₀89 on card 8 gives the same holding — „cz. Pawła Bzowskiego”. I record both forms as they stand. The same pair of forms („Brzozowski” in T94, „Bzowski” in the remaining sigla) has already occurred in Radzików Kornica
