„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.
| Year | Source | Entries | Persons | Hearths |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1789 | List of possessors of holdings of 1789 | 1 | 1 | — |
| 1794 | Hearth tax register 1794 | 1 | 1 | 1,0 |
No entry from 1775, 1789 and 1790. 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 localities in which the card file records this surname, with the number of entries and of the hearths falling to it in each village.
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.
Outside the brace „nie wysiewają 10 korcy”. The last entry of the left-hand column. The surname is legible in its full form; in T94, entry 8, on card 5) it is written more briefly, „Michowickiego”.
The card writes here „Michowickiego” [reading uncertain]; in T₀89, entry 26, on card 9) the same person stands as „Stanisława Miechowickiego”, and that form I adopt.
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.
