„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 1775, 1790 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.

A cleric („X.” = ksiądz, priest), without a forename. This card writes the surname „Drohoiewskiego” (a bare „h”), O83 on card 3) — „Drochojewskiego” (with „ch”); I do not harmonise the spellings. The buildings: 1 brewery + 1 inn = 2 d., it agrees.

The only place in the whole village where this cleric has a forename: Antoni. The card does not set the abbreviation „X.” here, but the office („proboszcza siedleckiego”) leaves no room for doubt. Three cards give three spellings of the surname: here „Drohojewskiego”, in T89 (card 4) „Drohoiewskiego”, in O83 (card 3) „Drochojewskiego” — I do not merge them. In the same years T90 and T94 have beside the parish priest of Siedlce an entirely different surname, „Katemberk”.

A short characterisation of the village; without figures of hearths, hence the hearths figure is empty. The Roman numeral in brackets. The cleric named by his office, without a forename. The writing of the surname on this card: „Drochojewskiego” (with „ch”); in T89 on card 4) the same person is written „Drohoiewskiego” (with a bare „h”) — both readings checked under magnification; I do not merge them. The content has been carried over into the village's the description of the village field.
