„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 1789. 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.

One item for the whole village, the numbering „1” editorial. The card gives no forename for the hereditary owner — the surname and the office alone remain. The surname is written over a correction: the beginning of the word (after the capital „K”) is blotted with a thick pen drawn twice, the ending „-yńskiego” is legible; the reading „Kuczyńskiego” [reading uncertain as to the blotted letters] is supported by the O83 („Kuczynskiej”) and T94 („Kuczynskiego”) lines on the same card, where the surname is written cleanly. The office „podczaszego mielnickiego” (the Mielnik Land) — I checked the initial letter of the word separately: four arcs before the „e” (m + i), as in „mi drohickiej” in the O83 line, and not three with a little knot, as in „wiejskich” two lines below; „mielnicki” is also a form well attested in the corpus (the Kaliccy, the Markowscy). NOTE ON THE TOTAL: the 48 hearths cover — directly from the wording — not only Krzymosze Bayki and Ciepiele, but also „cz. na wsi Wielgorze”, that is a holding lying in another village. The figure 48 is therefore not a pure figure of the hearths of Krzymosze; the card index does not break it down, and neither do I. The figure „48” underlined.

One item for the whole village, the numbering „1” editorial. Here the card gives neither forename nor office — the surname alone; the office „podczaszy mielnicki” comes from T90 and I do not add it here. Over the „n” no stroke is visible, so I normalise to „Kuczyński”. The number of hearths is the same as in T90 (48), although T94 names the village more narrowly — „Krzymosze Bayki”, without Ciepiele and without the holding in the village of Wielgorze. The figure „48” underlined; after it the card sets a full stop and a semicolon.

O83A description of 1783 [the expansion of the siglum to be confirmed]
A WOMAN — and the only person on the whole card written in a feminine form: the surname in the feminine genitive („Kuczynskiej”), and beside it the husband-derived title „podkomorzyny ziemi drohickiej” (podkomorzyna = the wife or the widow of the chamberlain of Drohiczyn). The card gives no forename, so the given name is empty; this is not a husband-derived form standing in place of a forename, but the absence of a forename, so I leave the recorded form of the name empty as well. Over the „n” in „Kuczynskiej” I see no stroke (in the T90 line the stroke over the „ń” is there) — I normalise to „Kuczyńska”, but I record it. A DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE YEARS WHICH I DO NOT SMOOTH OVER: O83 (1783) gives the village to a WOMAN and to the title of podkomorzyna of DROHICZYN, while T90 (1790) and T94 (1794) — to a man, T90 titling him deputy cupbearer of MIELNIK. Two different offices and two different sexes; the merging of persons is a separate, later stage, so I record both wordings as they stand. The name of the village in the form „Krzymoszyce” — the only such occurrence on the card. The word „ziemi” is carried over to the next line („zie-mi”); I write it with the hyphen as on the card. The number in brackets I read as the Roman „IX”, just as with Karcze, Ruska Wola and Krasusy Łęcznowola.

The card gives the surname alone in the plural („Kuczynskich”), without forenames — the largest holding in the village, 20 hearths in one entry. The writing without a stroke over the „n”. The initial is read as „K” by comparison with „Kaspra” in entry 2 on the same card. In T90 and T89 this family no longer occurs; O83 on card 2) speaks of „jednej części Kuczyńskiej, podkomorzyny drohickiej”.

O83A description of 1783 [the expansion of the siglum to be confirmed]
O83holdinghereditary ownerO83 (IX) - Wielgor - cząstki szlacheckie - jedna część Kuczyńskiej, podkomo-rzyny drohickiej;card 2)
A characterization of the village, not a list of holdings: the card gives no hearths here. The whole extract is two lines, the word „podkomorzyny” carried over („podkomo-/rzyny”), and so I record it.
A WOMAN — the only person in this extract: the surname in the feminine genitive („Kuczyńskiej”) with the husband-derived title „podkomorzyny drohickiej” (podkomorzyna = the wife or the widow of the chamberlain of Drohiczyn). The card gives no forename, so the given name is empty; this is not a husband-derived form in place of a forename, only the absence of a forename, so the recorded form of the name too remains empty.
THE READING OF THE CAPITAL LETTER: „Kuczyńskiej”. The letter is in this line (written with a thinner, different pen than the rest of the card) rounded, and by itself it can be read both as a „K” and as an „R”. The comparison decides it: (a) the T75 of the same village opens with the entry „cz. Kuczynskich – dymów 20”, that is with the largest holding in the village; (b) in the card index there stands a twin formula at Krzymoszyce: „O83 (IX) - Krzymoszyce - wieś Kuczynskiej, podkomorzyny ziemi drohickiej”. The surname „Ruczyński” the card index does not know at all.
A DIFFERENCE FROM KRZYMOSZYCE WHICH I DO NOT SMOOTH OVER: there the title runs „podkomorzyny ZIEMI drohickiej”, here — „podkomorzyny drohickiej”, without the word „ziemi”. Checked under magnification: the second line is „rzyny drohickiej;” and nothing more.
FURTHERMORE: Krzymosze Bayki and Ciepiele are described in the card index as „dziedz. Kuczyńskiego podczaszego mielnickiego Z CZ. NA WSI WIELGORZE” [T90] — that is a cross-reference in the other direction, confirming the presence of the Kuczyńskis at Wielgórz.
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.
