„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.
| Year | Source | Entries | Persons | Hearths |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1775 | Hearth tax register 1775 | 1 | 1 | 1,0 |
| 1789 | Hearth tax register 1789 | 1 | 1 | 1,0 |
| 1789 | List of possessors of holdings of 1789 | 1 | 1 | — |
| 1794 | Hearth tax register 1794 | 1 | 1 | 1,0 |
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. 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 localities in which the card file records this surname, with the number of entries and of the hearths falling to it in each village.
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 last entry of the register of 1775. Beneath it, to the right and lower down, stands the total „Razem dymów 45”, underlined twice.
A surname, not a byname: it stands on its own, without a family surname after it („cz. Stanisława Karasia”). The same possessor returns in T94 on card 5) („13) cz. Stan. Karasia”).
Outside the brace „nie wysiewają 10 korcy” — the brace closes at entry 23.
