„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 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.

Ługi WielkieZbuczyn parish

1775Hearth tax register 1775
T751 hearth10) [pierwotnie 11)] cz. Mateusza Jezowskiego dym 1card 2)

The number was corrected on the card after the entry concerning the parish benefice (probostwo) had been struck out. The surname „Jezowskiego” — I do not see a dot over the „z”, so I do not add one myself; „Jeżowski” is possible [reading uncertain].

JezowskiMateusz
1789Hearth tax register 1789
T891 hearthcz. ~~sukc.~~ Jezowskiego Mateusza 1 dcard 4)
The card sets the surname before the forename. Above the surname „sukc.” was added and struck out — since the abbreviation is deleted, I do NOT hold Mateusz to be dead; in T75, entry 10 (card 2), he appears living, without that abbreviation. The surname as on card 2): „Jezowskiego”, without a dot over the „z”.

Tchórzew-PlewkiZbuczyn parish

JezowskiStanisław
1789Hearth tax register 1789
T891 hearth6) cz. Jezowskiego Stan. 1 dcard 3)
The only entry on this card with inverted order: first the surname, then the abbreviated forename. I read the surname „Jezowskiego” — at eightfold magnification, after „Je” comes at once „z”, „o”, „w”, „s”, „k”, „i” (the only dot stands over this „i”), „e”, „g”, „o”; between the „z” and the „o” there is no letter „i”. The headword form „Jezowski” is attested in the neighbourhood. On card 6) (T₀89) the same possessor occurs as „cz. Stanisława Jeziowskiego” — there after the „z” an additional shaft of an „i” is visible; the discrepancy of spelling between the cards I leave untouched and record.

ZdanyZbuczyn parish

JezowskiMateusz
1775Hearth tax register 1775
T751 hearth7) cz. Mateusza Jzowskiego - dym 1,card 1)
The card writes the surname „Jzowskiego” — after the capital „J” there follows at once the tall loop of a „z”, without a vowel; checked at eightfold magnification and compared with „Józefa” in entry 3 (there between the „J” and the loop stands a distinct „ó”) and with „Jasinskich” in entry 4. The letters are therefore certain, but „Jzowski” is not a possible form of a surname. In the surname I give „Jezowski”, because the same village has Jezowskis in T90 entry I) („Tomasza Jezewskiego”), in T89 („Tomasza Jezowskiego”) and in T94; the form of the card remains literally in the text of the extract. [reading uncertain — the resolution of the surname, not of the letters]. Left to the decision of the owner.

„Jezowskiego” — after „Jez” a distinct „o”; on card 5 (T94) the same man is written „Jezewskiego”. The discrepancy is left as it stands on the cards

Stanisław Jezowski appears in none of the registers of this village — only in the list of possessors of 1789 — covered by the brace with the vertical inscription „nie wysiewają 10 korcy” — on card 6 the brace has the form of a frame taking in the last six entries of the right-hand column, on card 7 of an ordinary curly bracket beside both entries
