„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 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 breakdown closes: 1 manor house + 1 brewery + 1 inn + 5 cottages = 8. Beside „dwór”, „brow.” and „karcz.” the card sets no figures — the ones follow from the total. A woman: the surname written in the feminine form („Antoniny Kłopockiej”), in the nominative Antonina Kłopocka. She is the only person of this village besides the Markowskis and the Stoińskis; in O83 (1783) and T94 (1794) the successors of Stoiński stand on the same eight-hearth holding. The figure 8 is underlined.

Below this line, centred, stands a struck-out cross-reference „patrz Zastawie.” — the copyist at first referred the 1789 extract to the neighbouring village, then struck the cross-reference out and entered the possessor directly. I read the surname „Kłopockiej” (nominative: Kłopocka) — the letters are legible, although the line is cut across by faint traces of an offset from the neighbouring card, which at first sight look like a striking out; under magnification it can be seen that there is no deletion here. A woman: the feminine form of the surname in the genitive. The card gives neither hearths (with T₀89 there are none as a rule), nor an office, nor a legal status — nothing but the surname and the propination.

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.
