Separate entries for persons

Occurrences on the cards

„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 | 49,0 |
| 1790 | Hearth tax register 1790 | 1 | 1 | 46,0 |
No entry from 1775 and 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.

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.

1789Hearth tax register 1789
T8949 hearthsleaseholder for lifepossessorT89 – dzierżawa zbuczyńska, dożywotna Cieszkowskiego (kasztelana liwskiego); należą do niej Zbuczyn, Rowce, Karcze; Zbuczyn – wieś – dwór, karczma, 5 dymów żydowskich, 20 chał. o 1 gosp., 8 chał. z ogrodem, 10 dymów rzemieślniczych, tamże 4 sołtysie chał. o 1 gosp., = 49 dymów.
I DELIBERATELY LEAVE THE the breakdown of buildings FIELD UNFILLED: the card's breakdown does not consist of buildings alone. The components are these: dwór (1) + karczma (1) + 5 Jewish hearths + 20 chał. o 1 gosp. + 8 chał. z ogrodem + 10 craftsmen's hearths + 4 village headmen's cottages with 1 householder = 49; two of them („dymy żydowskie”, „dymy rzemieślnicze”) are categories of taxation and not kinds of building, so to enter them in the breakdown of buildings would be over-interpretation. Beside „dwór” and „karczma” the card sets no numeral — the ones I take from the reckoning, which closes at 49, and not from the reading. THIS EXTRACT GIVES NO FORENAME FOR THE POSSESSOR (only „Cieszkowskiego”); the forename Krzysztof stands in T90 on card 1) and there I recorded it — here I do not add it, because the years are not merged. The lease is FOR LIFE („dożywotna”) — an item of information about the title of possession which T90 does not have.

T9046 hearthspossessorpossessorT90 – 1) dobra król., dzierżawa Zbuczyn w poses. Krzysztofa Cieszkowskiego kasztelana [wyraz skreślony] liwskiego; należą do niej wsie: Zbuczyn, Rowce i Karcze. — a) wieś Zbuczyn – 46 dymów wiejskich 2giej klasy;–card 1)
The person of the possessor stands in the heading of entry 1) and takes in all three sub-entries a), b), c) — I enter him HERE ONLY, so as not to count Cieszkowski three times. The office I read following the correction added beneath the striking out: „liwskiego”, that is castellan of Liw (Liw in Mazovia), and not of Łuków. THE CLASS OF THE HEARTHS: „2giej klasy”. The sign before „giej” I checked separately at sixteenfold magnification, because at the first moment it looked like a one (a pennant at the top); setting the same place beside the T90 line on the card of Rowce (card 1), „15 dymów wiejskich 2giej klasy”), written in the same hand, shows the same arrangement of strokes — an upper arc, a descent to the left and a horizontal foot running into the „g” — that is, a two. The reading agrees also with Karcze (card 1), „8 dymów wiejskich 2giej klasy”): all three villages of the Zbuczyn leasehold have the same class in T90. In lines b), c), „razem” and 2) the formula „dymów wiejskich 2giej klasy” is repeated with marks of repetition (commas), not with words.

O83A description of 1783 [the expansion of the siglum to be confirmed]
O83leaseholder for lifepossessorO83(IX) – wieś królewska w dożywotniej posesji Cieszkowskiego, kasztelana liwskiego, w dekanacie łukowskim; kościół par. na końcu wsi ku półn. zachodowi, Facjatą na wschód zbudowany; młyn wietrzny i koński; kaplica św. Anny; dwór; szpitkal; altarja Aniołów Stróżów; altarja Różańcowa; ratusz.card 2)
THE THIRD ATTESTATION OF THE POSSESSOR, and again without a forename: only „Cieszkowskiego, kasztelana liwskiego”. The forename Krzysztof is given by T90 on card 1) alone; I do not merge the years, so here I do not add the forename. The office „kasztelan liwski” comes out here for the third time and for the third time without erasures — this settles the doubt from card 1), where the word before the correction is blotted. THE MILL: „młyn wietrzny i koński”, that is a windmill AND a horse mill (driven by a horse gin) — two kinds of drive in one village; from T90 on card 1) we know that beside the windmill stood the miller's cottage, counted as 1 hearth. The the annotations dictionary does not know a marker „młyn”, so this remains in the text of the extract and in the note. THE ORIENTATION OF THE CHURCH: „na końcu wsi ku półn. zachodowi, Facjatą na wschód zbudowany” — „Facjatą” written with a capital letter, the reading certain [F-a-c-j-a-t-ą]. „szpitkal” I record literally, in this archaic form, and not as „szpital” — so it stands on the card. THE TOWN HALL closes the list and is — beside the MP note — the second testimony to the urban character of Zbuczyn. Both altarages („Aniołów Stróżów”, „Różańcowa”) agree as to their names with T₀89 on card, where they are written „Altarya”, here „altarja”. Apart from the possessor the extract names nobody.
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.
