„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.

KwasyZbuczyn parish

NiemiraAntoni
1789List of possessors of holdings of 1789
T₀89T₀89 – Kwasy i Zawady. Antoniego Niemiery – zob. Krzesk Stary
A list of possessors of holdings of 1789 — with the siglum T₀89 the hearths figure is as a rule empty, and all the more so here, since the line refers onward in any case. TWO THINGS AT ONCE: (a) the list treats Kwasy and Zawady as a single whole in the hands of Antoni Niemiera — just as the 1775 register counts the two villages together; (b) for the substance of the entry it refers to the village of Krzesk Stary („zob. Krzesk Stary”, added on a second line, lower and to the right, beneath the surname). This card does not name propination — but the card to which it refers (Krzesk Stary, T₀89, card 3) records the propination of Antoni Niemiera and his brother outright „ze wsi Zawad i Kwasów”. The note therefore stands at the entry for Krzesk Stary, because that is where the card index writes it, and not here. The siglum is a looped T with a zero index (T₀89 = the year 1789, the list of possessors), not „Po99” and not the T89 register, which has its own separate line on the same card.
The card writes „Antoniego Niemiery”; in the nominative Antoni Niemiera. The list gives here neither office nor legal status — unlike O83, which six lines above calls Niemierzyna the wife of the standard-bearer of the Mielnik Land (chorążyna ziemi mielnickiej). I do not add her office to him.

O83A description of 1783 [the expansion of the siglum to be confirmed]
O83hereditary ownerO83 (IX) – Iwanow Kwasy – wieś Nięmięrzyny, chorążyny ziemi mielnickiej;
A short description of the village, without figures and without buildings, hence the hearths figure empty. The number in brackets I read as the Roman „IX” (I + X, with a stroke above and below) — just as with Karcze, Krasusy Łęcznowola and Ruska Wola. THE NAME OF THE VILLAGE in this line has a two-part form, „Iwanow Kwasy”, not known from the rest of the card; the capital letter of the first part is written with a loop descending below the line of writing, that is in the form which this hand reserves for „J”/„Y” and not for „I” — literally it can be read „Ywanow”/„Jwanow”; I write „Iwanow” [reading uncertain]. The construction „wieś X-a, urząd” denotes the owner of the village (just as in the O83 line for Gozd: „wieś Stefana Domaszewskiego, skarbnika łukowskiego”), hence the note „dziedzic”. The line runs on to a second line, which holds only „mielnickiej;”.
A WOMAN. The card gives no forename of her own — it names her solely by a husband-derived form of the surname in the genitive, „Nięmięrzyny”, and by her husband's office in the feminine form, „chorążyny ziemi mielnickiej”. Hence the given name is empty, and the recorded form of the name is copied literally from the card, with ogonki under both „e” (literally „Nięmięrzyny”); the headword form of the surname: Niemierzyna, the wife of Niemiera. I do not expand the office beyond what stands there: „chorążyna ziemi mielnickiej”. I do not join her with Antoni Niemiera from T₀89 on the same card — that is the task of a later stage — but the surname is the same.

O83A description of 1783 [the expansion of the siglum to be confirmed]
O83O83 (IX) – Wesołka – cząstki szlacheckie; części dwie: jedna Niemierzyny, chorążyny ziemi mielnickiej; druga Zaliwskich;

the same entry also names: Zaliwski2 persons on a holding without hearths

A short characterization of the village, without figures and without buildings, hence the hearths figure empty. The number in brackets I read as the Roman „IX” (I + X, with a stroke above and below), just as at Krzesk Stary, Kwasy and Karcze. The line runs through THREE rows: „…cząstki szlacheckie; części dwie: jedna” / „Niemierzyny, chorążyny ziemi mielnickiej; druga” / „Zaliwskich;”. The word „cząstki” has a clear tail under the „ą” (checked at eightfold magnification) — it is „cząstki”, not „częstki”. THE ANNOTATION `dziedzic` I DO NOT ADD: the card index writes here „cząstki szlacheckie”, and not „wieś X-a”, and the same was done throughout the study at other part-held villages; both persons are owners of the two holdings, but the card does not use the word of hereditary ownership.
A WOMAN. The card gives no forename of her own — it names her solely by the husband-derived form of the surname in the genitive and by her husband's office in the feminine form („chorążyny ziemi mielnickiej”), and therefore the given name is empty, and the form from the card stands in the recorded form of the name. THE WRITING OF THE SURNAME [reading uncertain]: the hand is compressed in this place and literally allows the reading „Nimirzyny” (without either „e”); I write „Niemierzyny”, because the same formula — „Nięmięrzyny, chorążyny ziemi mielnickiej” — stands in O83 at Kwasy (card) and at Krzesk Królowa Niwa, and `nazwiska.json` has a settlement merging Niemiera / Niemira / Niemierzyna under the headword Niemiera. The headword form: Niemierzyna, the wife of Niemiera. I do not link her with any person from other years — that is a separate stage.

ZawadyZbuczyn parish

Niemirason of the standard-bearer of Mielnik (chorążyc mielnicki)
1789Hearth tax register 1789
T8924 hearths1 manor house, 1 brewery, 1 inn, 1 cottage with 2 householders, 18 cottages with 1 householder, 2 cottages with a gardenhereditary owner1) Zawady - dwór, brow., karcz., chat. o 2 gosp., 18 chat. o 1 gosp., 2 chat. z ogr.; = 24 d.
THE ONLY ENTRY OF THE EXTRACT THAT CONCERNS ZAWADY ITSELF. The buildings add up exactly: 1 manor house + 1 brewery + 1 inn + 1 cottage with 2 householders + 18 cottages with 1 householder + 2 cottages with a garden = 24 hearths, and that is what the card gives („= 24 d.”, underlined with a double wavy stroke). Beside „chat. o 2 gosp.” the card SETS NO FIGURE — just as beside „chat. z ogrodem” on cards 1) and 286 — so I read one cottage; the reckoning confirms it, for without that one it would come to 23, and with two to 25. ¶ THE KEY WORDS checked under magnification and certain: „brow.” = browar, a brewery (one), „karcz.” = karczma, an inn (one), both in the singular and with no figure before them. The word „propinacja” this line DOES NOT CONTAIN. ¶ The annotation `dziedzic` comes from the heading of the extract („wieś dziedziczna Niemirów”). ¶ The figure „18” is certain; the „2” before „chat. z ogr.” is certain.
The card gives not a single forename: it writes solely in the plural, in the genitive — „wieś dziedziczna Niemirów, chorążyców mielnickich”. Hence the given name is empty, the surname in the heading form „Niemira” (the singular nominative of „Niemirowie”), the office in the singular „chorążyc mielnicki” (the card: „chorążyców mielnickich”, that is the sons of the standard-bearer). HOW MANY OF THEM THERE WERE THE CARD DOES NOT SAY; the plural points to at least two and agrees with the cards of Krzesk Stary, where the same holding belongs to „Michała Niemiery z bratem” (T90, T94) and to „Antoniego Niemiery i brata jego” (T₀89). The persons of these records I DO NOT MERGE — that is a later stage. The form of the surname: this card writes „Niemirów”, card 1) „Niemiery”, card 2) „Niemiry”, cards and 559 (O83) „Nięmięrzyny”; the pattern from `nazwiska.json` is „Niemiera”, but I record the form that agrees with this card.
Niemira„Nięmięrzyny”wife of the standard-bearer of Mielnik (chorążyna mielnicka)
O83A description of 1783 [the expansion of the siglum to be confirmed]
O83O83 (IX) – Zawady – wieś Nięmięrzyny, chorążyny mielnickiej; austeria
A short characterization of the village, without figures, hence the hearths figure is empty. The number in brackets I read as the Roman „IX” (I + X, with a stroke above and below), just as at Kwasy, Krzesk Stary and Karcze. ¶ THE WORD „AUSTERIA” — read with particular care, because it is a word from the list of key words. It stands in a line of its own, INDENTED and set exactly under the word „Zawady” of the O83 line, that is in the place in which this card index continues a line that has run too long (the O83 lines wrap in the same way on cards and 539). For that reason I assign it to O83, and not to the T89 standing below it. It is written with a finer pen, but in BLACK ink, not blue (measurement of the darkest pixels: R9 G11 B16, B−R = 7; for comparison the O83 line R5 G6 B10, B−R = 5, and the blue T90 line B−R = 43). The letters are legible: a-u-s-t-e-r-i-a. ¶ I DO NOT ADD THE ANNOTATION `dziedzic` BESIDE O83: the card says „wieś Nięmięrzyny”, and not „wieś dziedziczna”; the word about hereditary tenure falls only in T89.
A WOMAN. The card gives no forename of her own — it names her solely by the husband-derived form of the surname in the genitive, „Nięmięrzyny”, and by her husband's office in the feminine form, „chorążyny mielnickiej”. Hence the given name is empty, and the recorded form of the name is copied out literally, with ogoneks under both „e” (under magnification two descents below the line can be seen, the same as beside the „ą” in the „chorążyny” standing next to it) — the heading form of the surname: Niemierzyna, the wife of Niemiera. A DISCREPANCY WITH THE NEIGHBOURING CARD, WHICH I DO NOT SMOOTH AWAY: on card (Kwasy) the same person bears the office „chorążyny ZIEMI mielnickiej”, here „chorążyny mielnickiej” — the word „ziemi” is NOT on this card, checked under magnification. I do not join her with the Niemiras of T89 on the same card, nor with Antoni Niemiera of card — that is the task of a later stage — but the surname is the same.

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.
