„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 1794. 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.

Where the surname occurs

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.

The card file also records the form Bzowska entries: 1 localities: 1 We record a surname as it stands on the card, because the feminine form is sometimes the only sign that the person is a woman; the two entries therefore stay separate. Whether this is the same family is for the reader to decide, not for this list.

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 right-hand column, ABOVE the stroke — the brace does NOT take in this entry; it is precisely BELOW this line that the horizontal stroke opening the brace runs. A DISCREPANCY: T94 (card 7) calls the same person „Pawła Brzozowskiego”
