„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.

Where the surname occurs

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.

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.

T751 hearthwidow2) cz. Szymonowey Łęczyckiey wdowy dym 1,card 1)
The words „cz. Szymonowey” are underlined on the card with one horizontal stroke running ALONG the baseline, below the letters, not through them — this is an underlining, not a striking-out; the neighbouring entries (3, 4) have no underlining. That Szymon Łęczycki was already dead is confirmed by T90 (card 2), entry B) and T94 (card 4), entry 3): „sukces. Szymona Łęczyckiego”.

A WOMAN. The card gives no forename of her own, only the husband-derived form „Szymonowey” — recorded literally in the recorded form of the name, the given name is left empty. I do not expand it: the card does not say which Szymon she was the wife of.

It agrees with card 1 (T75 entry 2), where it stands „cz. Szymonowey Łęczyckiey wdowy” — Szymon Łęczycki was already dead by then.
