„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 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
T8923 hearths1 manor house, 1 brewery, 1 inn, 17 cottages with 1 householder, 3 empty cottagespossessorT89 – wieś królewska, dożywotnia ⟨Kajetana⟩ Jackowskiego, dwór, brow., karcz., 13 chat. o 1 gosp., 3 chat. puste, tamże 4 chat. o 1 gosp. ⟨wyraz nieodczytany⟩, = 23 dymy;card 1)
THE ARITHMETICAL CHECK COMES OUT AND CONFIRMS THE WHOLE READING OF THE LINE, so I did not look at it a second time: 1 dwór + 1 browar + 1 karczma + 13 chat o 1 gosp. + 3 chaty puste + 4 chaty o 1 gosp. = 23 = the figure given on the card („= 23 dymy”, underlined with a wavy stroke) and the same that T90 of the same card gives. In the field the breakdown of buildings both batches of cottages with one householder (13 + 4) are summed to 17, because the keys must add up to the hearths; the breakdown into 13 and 4 remains literally in the text of the extract. EMPTY COTTAGES COUNT TOWARDS THE HEARTHS — the card index proceeds in the same way at Izdebki; that is why the three empty cottages are in the breakdown of buildings, and not passed over. THE WORDS FROM THE WATCHED THREE — „brow.” = browar, a brewery, and „karcz.” = karczma, an inn: BOTH READINGS CERTAIN. They stand next to each other, in black ink, at the join of strips d and e of the frame; I read them from the stitching of both strips under magnification and in it both words are separated by commas, without running into their neighbours. The card does not name propination — neither here nor anywhere else in Kownatki. AN ADDITION: the forename „Kajetana” entered between the lines above the word „dożywotnia”; I render it with an angle bracket. READING UNCERTAIN: the last word before „= 23 dymy” I DID NOT READ and I supply no conjecture — after one fivefold magnification about eight characters are visible with the long crossbar of a „t” and the ending „-pie”; „na ostępie” and „następnie” suggest themselves, I can confirm neither. On the number of hearths this word has no bearing: the reckoning closes without it. The word „tamże” before „4 chat.” I read with certainty — the same hand uses it in the same sense at Izdebki („tamże chałupa pusta do mieszkania zdatna”).

T9023 hearthspossessorpossessorT90 – dobra król., dzierżawa wsi Kownatek w poses. Kajetana Jackowskiego – należą do niej tylko Kownatki – 23 dymów wiejskich 2giej klasy;-card 1)
The register of 1790 does not break the village into holdings: the whole village is one lease in the possession of Kajetan Jackowski. The figure „23” on the card is UNDERLINED; the reading is confirmed by the reckoning, for T89 of the same card arrives at the same 23 hearths, setting them out building by building. The interjection „należą do niej tylko Kownatki” is important: the Kownatki lease did not take in other villages, unlike the neighbouring Gręzówka lease, to which the card index assigns Klimki (card 1).

O83A description of 1783 [the expansion of the siglum to be confirmed]
O83leaseholder for lifepossessorO83 (IX) – Kownatki, wieś królewska, dzierżawy dożywotniej Jackowskiego, podczaszego kijowskiego.card 1)
A description of the village from O83, section (IX). Without hearths. The line runs across the seam between strips c and d of the frame; it is visible in full on strip d. The office „podczaszy kijowski” recurs as an interlinear addition in Ls.89 on card 2), which confirms the reading.

In this extract the card gives the surname and the office alone, without the forename; the forename „Kajetan” is carried by T90 and T89 of the same card and by both extracts on cards 2) and 667, but here I do not add it — I leave as much as this line says.

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.
