„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.

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.

The total given by the card („= 8 d.”, underlined with two strokes) agrees with the breakdown of the buildings: 1 manor house + 2 small manor houses + 2 inns + 3 cottages = 8. TWO INNS against the eight hearths of the whole village — the numeral „2” before „karcz.” is clear. The preposition „z” in „3 chat. z ogrod.” is added in small writing above the line. This extract is the continuation of the heading „T89 Cięszkowizna” begun and STRUCK OUT at the foot of card — the compiler began it on the first card, ran out of room and moved the whole onto the second card.

the card gives the surname alone, without a forename: „1 dworek gdzie mieszka felczer Gutman”; he is not the possessor of a holding, only the occupant of a building counted to the hereditary owner
