„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.

1789Hearth tax register 1789
T8920 hearths1 manor house, 1 brewery, 2 inn, 16 cottagesT89 – Jana Jezierskiego z rzescią na wsi Jeziorach złączono: 1 dwór, 1 browar, 2 karcz., 16 chat. o 1 gosp., = 20 d.card 1)
THE RECKONING: 1 manor house + 1 brewery + 2 inns + 16 cottages = 20 hearths, and the card gives „= 20 d.” and underlines this figure twice. ¶ THE KEY WORDS — THE READING IS CERTAIN. „1 browar” checked at fourfold magnification, letter by letter („b” with a tall loop, „r”, „o”, a two-arched „w”, „a”, „r”), without a shadow of doubt. „2 karcz.” — the abbreviation of „karczmy”, checked at sevenfold magnification („k”, „a”, „r”, „c”, „z” with a descender, a full stop); the figure before it is an unambiguous cursive two, compared with the two in „20”; the reading is certain. The word „propinacja” is not on this card at all. ¶ „o 1 gosp.” — the figure before „gosp.” is on the card THICKLY REWORKED with a second stroke of the pen (the character flooded with ink, beneath it the trace of an earlier figure visible). I read „1”, because (a) such is the constant formula of this hand throughout the card index („o 1 gos./gosp.”), and (b) only with „o 1 gosp.” does the reckoning 1+1+2+16 give the declared 20 hearths; with „o 2 gosp.” the total would not come out. The correction itself is recorded; the reading of the number of hearths is not endangered by it. ¶ „z rzescią na wsi Jeziorach” [reading uncertain as to the first word] — the same formula, just as uncertain, already stands in the card index at other villages: „z rzeszczą na wsi Pogonowie” (Krasusy Łęcznowola, T89) and „z rzescią na wsi Sokulu” (Sokule, T89), where it was understood as „z resztą [dóbr] na wsi X”. The letters after the first are clear: „-rescią” with an ogonek at the „ą”; the word opens with a character which may equally well be a „w” as an „rz”. The sense is in both cases the same: Jezierski's holding is counted together with his estate in the village of Jeziory. ¶ „złączono” — the reading is certain as to the ending („-o n o” before the colon, checked at sevenfold magnification); beneath the „a” an ogonek is added with a second stroke of the pen, and so „złączono”. The same hand uses this verb in an identical construction at other villages („z częścią na wsi Wierzejkach złączona”, „z częściami na wsi Choi złączona”). ¶ THE CROSS-REFERENCE TO JEZIORY: the village of Jeziory has its own cards in the card index (659–662) and is worked up separately; this entry I do NOT carry over to them and I do not divide the hearths — I record them where they stand, that is under Gołąbki, and I signal the connection.

T₀89propination (the right to sell drink)T₀89 – ws. Jeziory i Gołąbki – Franciszka Jezierskiego; propinacja;card 2)
THE WORD „PROPINACJA” — THE READING IS CERTAIN. The second line, indented, written broadly and cleanly; checked at fivefold magnification, letter by letter: „p” with a descender, „r”, „o”, „p” with a descender, „i” with a dot, „n”, „a”, „c”, „j” with a dot and a descender, „a”, and after it a semicolon. No character raises a doubt. The word stands without closer description — the card does not say how much the propination yielded nor who held it on lease. ¶ A DISCREPANCY OF THE FORENAME — RECORDED, NOT SMOOTHED OVER. T₀89 calls the possessor FRANCISZEK Jezierski, whereas O83 on the same card and T89, T90, T94 on card 1) speak of JAN Jezierski. The reading „Franciszka” is certain (checked at fourfold magnification: „F” with a crossbar, „r”, „a”, „n”, „c”, „i”, „s”, „z”, „k”, „a”); the first letter is reworked with a second stroke of the pen — beneath the „F” the trace of an earlier, unfinished character is visible — but the „F” itself and the rest of the word raise no doubt. I DO NOT MERGE the forenames and I correct neither into the other: these are two different sources, and they may speak of two different men of one family, or of a change of hand in the course of the year. A matter for the owner of the work to resolve. ¶ THE NAME: the extract names „ws. Jeziory i Gołąbki” — two members joined by the conjunction „i”, and not in one run as in T75 and O83. This is the third way of writing this pair of names on the two cards, and the only one which suggests TWO settlements, and not one two-part name. I do not decide it myself — I signal it. The abbreviation „ws.” (with a stroke over the „s”, that is „wś.”) I understand as „wieś”, a village, but I transcribe it literally.

T9015 hearthspł. of.T90 . cz. Jana Jezierskiego /pł. of./ – dymów 15card 1)
The marker „/pł. of./” is transcribed literally, I do not expand it. The surname „Jezierskiego” is legible at 2.4-fold magnification: „J” with a long descender (the same shape as in „Jeziory” two lines higher), „e”, „z”, „i”, „e”, „r”, „s”, „k”, „i”, „e”, „g”, „o” — the reading is certain. The surname is obviously formed from the name of the neighbouring Jeziory, and at this village it returns in T94 and T89 of the same card. Before the siglum and after it stands a full stop („T90 .”).

T9415 hearthsT94. – Jana Jezierskiego — 15 dymów. –card 1)

The line repeats neither the name of the village nor the word „cz.” — it begins straight with the genitive „Jana Jezierskiego”. The card gives here neither a marker nor an office. At the end of the line a dash, as at the closing of an extract.

O83A description of 1783 [the expansion of the siglum to be confirmed]
O83hereditary ownerhereditary ownerO83 (IX) – Jeziory Gołąbki, wieś dziedziczna Jana Jezierskiego, expisarza ziemskiego Łukowskiego. (kilka razy używa nazwy samej tylko „Gołąbki”);card 2)
O83 gives no hearths — the hearths figure empty. ¶ THE NAME OF THE VILLAGE: the extract names it in TWO PARTS — „Jeziory Gołąbki” — and itself notes at once that the source „kilka razy używa nazwy samej tylko «Gołąbki»”. This remark in brackets is the key one for the whole village: it confirms that both forms of the name („Jeziory Gołąbki” and „Gołąbki”) denote in O83 ONE AND THE SAME place, and not two. The word „używa” was checked at sevenfold magnification: „u”, „ż” with a dot above the letter, „y”, „w”, „a” — the reading is certain. The quotation marks at „Gołąbki” are on the card, in the shape of a lower and an upper sign, and so I transcribe them. ¶ THE OFFICE: „expisarza ziemskiego Łukowskiego”. The word „expisarza” was checked at sixfold magnification and read with certainty: „e”, „x” (a loop with a stroke through it), „p” with a descender, „i”, „s”, „a”, „r”, „z”, „a”. The prefix „ex-” means that Jezierski was a FORMER land scribe of Łuków, not one in office — so I record it in the field the office („expisarz ziemski łukowski”) and I do not smooth it to „pisarz ziemski łukowski”. The adjective „Łukowskiego” is written on the card with a capital letter, with a horizontal stroke over „Łuk” (this is the stroke of the letter „ł”, not a mark of abbreviation); in the office I normalise it to a small letter, in accordance with the usage of the collection. ¶ THE PERSON: Jan Jezierski — the same whom T89, T90 and T94 on card 1) point to as the possessor of the whole village. I do not merge the years; I record the person as this extract names him. NOTE THE DIFFERENCE OF FORENAME: T₀89 on the same card gives FRANCISZEK Jezierski, not Jan — see there.
