„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.

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.

A DISCREPANCY WITHIN ONE CARD, and I do not smooth it over: in entry 1 the surname is written „Miastkowskiego” (with a clear „st” ligature and a crossbar on the „t”), and in entry 2, a line lower, „Miaskowskiego” — WITHOUT the „t”. Checked at sixteenfold magnification with both lines side by side: in entry 1 between „Mias” and „kowskiego” stands a tall stem with a crossbar, in entry 2 there is none. On card 3 (T89, f. 616) and on card 5b (T90, f. 619) the same man is written „Miastkowskiego”, and nazwiska.json knows only the form „Miastkowski” — therefore in the surname I give „Miastkowski”, while the literal wording of the card remains in the text of the extract and here. The form „Miaskowski” is to be reported as a new variant.

In the surname the middle letters („stk”) are outlined a second time with a thicker stroke — a correction by the author; the result reads unambiguously „Miastkowskiego”. The figure „3” is likewise written a second time over the former one, more thickly; the reading „3” is certain and agrees with the card's own total.
