„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.

1794Hearth tax register 1794111,0

No entry from 1775, 1789 and 1790. 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-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.

T941 hearthcz. Mikołaja Chmielewskiego 1 d.;card 5)
A SURNAME OTHER THAN IN THE REMAINING EXTRACTS, and the reading is certain: „Chmielewskiego” (with „ml” and „ew”), not „Chromieńskiego”. In T90 H) on card 2 the same pair — Mikołaj and the successors of Karol — bears the surname „Chromieńskiego”, and a line lower on this same card 5 stands „Chrominskiego”. I record what stands in the line. [for the owner to decide: whether to merge with the Chromińskis]

This surname in full edition of the hearth-tax registers — together with the search across all persons, the comparison of figures through the registers, the modern map and the Perthées engraving of 1786.
