„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 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 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.

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.
