„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.

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.

a woman; a husband-derived form without a forename of her own. The copyist wrote „Woycie” and added in braces „{chowy}” — the braces are his own completion of the expanded abbreviation; into the recorded form of the name goes only „Woyciechowy”. The surname on the card in the feminine form („Czerskiey”).

A DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE SIGLA, which I do not smooth over: in T₀89 (the list of possessors from 1789) Kazimierz Czerski appears as a living possessor of a holding, whereas in T89 (the register of that same year, 1789) and in T90 and T94 there already stand „the successors of Kazimierz Czerski”. The annotation „nie wysiewa 10 korcy” concerns this one entry alone — it stands after a dash beside his surname, and not beside the two preceding ones. T₀89 has no propination, brewery or inn for this village.

BREWERIES AND INNS — the reading is certain, checked at 3× magnification: „2 brow.” (= 2 breweries) and „2 karcz.” (= 2 inns) stand clearly, with the dots of abbreviation. The buildings: 1 manor house + 2 breweries + 2 inns + 3 cottages with 1 householder + 1 cottage („ogro-…”, probably a gardener's) = 9 hearths; in the breakdown of buildings both sorts of cottage are counted together as „chaty”: 4. The word describing the last cottage is broken off at the end of the line at „ogro-”, above it stands a superscribed, underlined correction (about three letters, legible as „ter”/„her”), and the beginning of the next line is taken up by a word struck out with a horizontal stroke — I have read neither the superscription nor the struck-out word [reading uncertain]; this does not disturb the reckoning, because the card itself closes the entry at „= 9 d.”. The formula „z rzeszczą” I record as it was settled in the card index at Krasusy Łęcznowola (WZOR.json, T89 entry 3: „z rzeszczą na wsi Pogonowie”, [reading uncertain] there as well). The word „złączoną” is confirmed by T089 on card 4), where the same holding of Jakób Czerski is described as lying „na Jeziorach i Świdrach”. The forename the card writes here „Jakuba”, and in T94 above „Jakóba” — the same person; I leave both forms as they stand.

PROPINATION — the reading is certain, checked at 3× magnification: above the words „na Jeziorach i Świdrach”, underlined, stands the addition „panszcz. i propinacją” („pańszcz[yzna] i propinacja”). The addition is written in the same hand, in smaller letters. The word „panszcz.” I do not have in the the annotations dictionary, so it remains only in the text of the extract — reported. The card writes the forename „Jakoba” without a clear mark over the „o”; I record „Jakób”, as in T75, T90 and T94 of this village.

The same Jakób Czerski has a holding in Jeziory as well (wies-jeziory.json, T75, entry 2 — 1 hearth). In T75 both holdings are set out separately, each beside its own village — there is no double counting here. Cf. the note on the village.

After the „zob.” stands a word begun and struck out („Świd…”), corrected to „Jeziory”. The same holding is described in the T₀89 of Jeziory (card 4) as lying „na Jeziorach i Świdrach”. The entry stands above a horizontal stroke, outside the brace „nie wysiewają 10 korcy” — there is no annotation. The forename the card writes here „Jakuba”, and in T94 (card 4) „Jakóba”.

The same Jakób Czerski stands in the T90 of Jeziory with 3 hearths (wies-jeziory.json, entry 6) — the holdings are set out separately beside each village. Cf. the note on the village.

T941 hearth1) cz. Jakóba Czerskiego ————card 4)
The card sets no legible figure beside this entry: the leader stroke breaks off, and the place to the right is taken by the total of T90 added alongside („Razem – 53 dymów”). The figure 1 is given by the card's own reckoning: entries 2–10 have 31 hearths together, and the card sums up „Razem · 32 dymów” [reading uncertain — the figure is derived from the total, not read from the card; checked at a magnification of 5–6×, beside the entry there is neither a figure nor a trace of one erased]. The holding of Jakób Czerski lay „na Jeziorach i Świdrach” (the T₀89 of Jeziory, card 4); its buildings are counted by the register of Jeziory, and the T₀89 and T89 of Świdry refer at that point „zob. Jeziory”.

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.
