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 | Hearth tax register 1789 | 1 | 1 | 20,0 |
| 1789 | List of possessors of holdings of 1789 | 1 | 1 | — |
| 1790 | Hearth tax register 1790 | 1 | 1 | 20,0 |
| 1794 | Hearth tax register 1794 | 1 | 1 | 20,0 |
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 same entry also names: Gurowski Jan2 persons on a holding without hearths
A list of the 1789 possessors — without hearths, the hearths figure empty in line with the rule for T₀89. The word „dziedz.” is an ADDITION above the line, inserted after „wś, –” and marked with an oval with a stroke; I introduce it into the text at the place of the insertion. „zaprzys.” = zaprzysiągł (he swore the oath) — Jan Gurowski took the oath for this village; the card calls him neither a possessor nor a guardian, so I limit the status to „zaprzysiągł” (just as on card, 184, 263, 344). THE SURNAME „Gurowski” [reading uncertain as to the capital letter]: the initial letter has a closed loop at the top with a hook to the right and a long, narrow descender below the line — this is not the „Z” of this hand („Zbuczyn” in the heading and „Zaprzys.” in the same line have a loop without a descender below the line) nor the „J” of the same line („Jan”, where the lower loop is wide and open to the left); I read „G”. The surname „Gurowski” is not so far in either the hearth tax card index or in SLOWNIK-OKOLICY — I report it as new. PROPINATION is recorded outright, as the last word of the line. The office „poła…ckiego”: the middle of the word (about two letters, „ni”) is obscured by a thick, repeated stroke of the pen; I adopt the reading „połanieckiego” on the strength of the three other occurrences on these cards, not from guesswork.
One entry for the whole village, the numbering „1” editorial. T90 gives no forename for the hereditary owner — the surname alone remains; the forename „Antoni” is given only by T89 and T₀89. THE CROSS-REFERENCE STANDS IN THE TOTAL: the 20 hearths cover Czuryty TOGETHER with the holdings at Radzików Stopki and Oledy („Czuryty z cz. na …”), not Czuryty alone; T89 counts the same way („złączona … = 20 d.”). The office is recorded here as „połonieckiego” — with a distinct „o” in the second syllable, checked at five- and seven-times magnification; the remaining three extracts (T89, O83, T₀89) have an „a” at this point („połanieckiego”). I record it literally, without normalizing; historically it concerns the castellany of Połaniec. „20” is underlined.
One entry for the whole village, the numbering „1” editorial. T94 gives neither a forename nor an office — the surname alone, in the form „Cieciszowskiego”. The figure „20” is underlined with a wavy stroke; it is the same figure as in T90 and T89, and there it takes in Czuryty TOGETHER with the holdings at Olędy and Radzikowo Stopki — T94 no longer names the adjoining holdings, so there is no cross-reference here, although the total is the same. THE WORD „wieś” [reading uncertain]: it has four characters — „w”, a tall loop, a small loop, and „ś” with an accent — and the tall loop in this hand is the shape of „ł” (the „ł” in „włościami” on card 1) looks the same), not a dotted „i”. In favour of the reading „wieś” speaks the ending in „ś” (not in „ść”) and the fixed formula of T94 in this card index („wieś Dąbrowskiego” card, „wieś Łaskiego” card, „wieś Annonin” card, „wieś Kierszkow” card 2), „wieś Sarnow” card 2). The reading „włość” cannot, however, be excluded, and I report this to the owner. In T₀89 on the same card there stands a shorter, two-letter form, „wś,”.
A characterisation of the village, not a list of hearths — hence the hearths figure is empty. I read the number in brackets as the Roman „IX” (with a stroke above), as with the other villages. The card gives no forename — only the surname remains, in the form „Cieciszowskiego”. THE INN is NAMED here, but not divided into hearths, so it goes into the annotations (the same as on cards 1), 238 and 240), not into the breakdown of buildings; the division of hearths with the inns is handled by T89. The line — the last on the card — ends with a semicolon just before the edge of the card stock, and nothing follows it; this is the same line that shows through the card stock of card 2) (Ciosna).
Radzików-StopkiZbuczyn parish

O83 mentions NEITHER an inn NOR propination at this village. The name of the village in its second member with a lower-case letter („stopki”).
