„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 1775, 1789 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 same entry also names: Dyminicz Kazimierz2 persons on a holding without hearths

A list of the possessors of 1789 — without hearths, the hearths figure empty in line with the rule for T₀89. PROPINATION is written out plainly, the last word of the line, read at six-times magnification — this is not an uncertain reading. The extract ties the village to its appurtenance directly: „wś Maszczybrody z wsią Białkami”, both in one possession. „za przys.” = under oath / swore the oath; the oath was taken not by the possessor but by the manager of the estate, hence beside him the the status: „zaprzysiągł” (just as on cards, 184, 263, 344, 363). THE MANAGER'S SURNAME [READING UNCERTAIN]: I read „Dyminicz”. The letters broken down: a capital letter with a loop and a broad belly = „D”; a second letter with a long descender below the line = „y”; then „m” (three legs), „i” with a dot, „n”, „i” with a dot, and at the end a curve plus the characteristic crossed stroke descending below the line, identical to the „z” in „Kazimierz” in the same line and to the „cz” in „Maszczybrody” on the same card — hence the ending „-cz”, not „-ez”. Alternatives I cannot rule out: „Dziminicz”, „Dyminiez”, „Dymnicz”. Above the first letters stands a small mark shaped like a little „u” or „c” — I cannot decide whether it is a compiler's mark (like the ǂ over „Markowskiego” in T94) or a letter inserted above the line; I do not carry it into the text. A surname of this shape occurs neither in the hearth-tax card index nor in SLOWNIK-OKOLICY — I do not force it onto the list and I report it to the owner of the card index as an item to be resolved. The possessor's surname is written here „Lemnickiego”, without the tail — the same as in T90 on card 1), and differently from O83 on the same card („Lęmnickiego”).

the same entry also names: Markowski Józef †2 persons on 22 hearths

Single entry for the whole village, the numbering „1” is editorial — T90 does not itemise any noble holdings here. THE FIGURE 22 CONCERNS THE VILLAGE ALONE, NOT THE WHOLE ESTATE: the first line describes „dobra Maszczybrody (Maszczybrody i Białka)” (the estate of Maszczybrody), but the number of hearths stands in a separate line and is clearly narrowed — „wieś Maszczybrody – 22 dymów wiejskich 2giej klasy”; this card does not give the hearths of Białka. „22” is underlined with a plain stroke. „dziedz. sukces. Józefa Markowskiego” — the hereditary owners are now the successors, so Józef Markowski himself is by 1790 no longer alive (the mark for a deceased person: true); a year earlier, in T89 and T₀89 on the same two cards, he still appears as the living hereditary owner. I RECORD THE OFFICE as it stands on the card — „chorążego mielnickiego”, without the word „ziemi”; in other villages of the card index (Tuchowicz, Wólka Zastawska) the same man bears the full form „chorąży ziemi mielnickiej”, so it is the same office, only shortened. The word „mielnickiego” itself was checked under magnification (m-i-e-l-n-i-c-k-i-e-g-o), since on a first reading it could be taken for „wieluńskiego”. The possessor's surname: „Lemnickiego”, without the hook under the „e” — on card 2) in O83 the same person is recorded „Lęmnickiego”, with a clear hook; I do not reconcile the two forms.

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.
