„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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1775 | Hearth tax register 1775 | 3 | 3 | 4,0 |
| 1789 | Hearth tax register 1789 | 3 | 3 | 3,0 |
| 1789 | List of possessors of holdings of 1789 | 6 | 5 | — |
| 1790 | Hearth tax register 1790 | 4 | 4 | 4,5 |
| 1794 | Hearth tax register 1794 | 3 | 3 | 3,0 |
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 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.
the same entry also names: Orzytowski Wojciech2 persons on 2 hearths
I read the surname as „Orzytowski” (the fifth letter is a „t” with its characteristic hook) — card 3), item K gives both forms outright: „Orzytowskich (Orzetowskich)”.
the same entry also names: Orzytowski Jakób2 persons on 2 hearths
I read the surname as „Orzytowski” (the fifth letter is a „t” with its characteristic hook) — card 3), item K gives both forms outright: „Orzytowskich (Orzetowskich)”.
I read the surname as „Orzytowski” (the fifth letter is a „t” with its characteristic hook) — card 3), item K gives both forms outright: „Orzytowskich (Orzetowskich)”.
the same entry also names: Orzytowski Jakub, Orzytowski Antoni3 persons on 3 hearths
the third person named solely by the husband-derived form „Leonardowey” — the card gives no forename of her own; the surname stands once, in the masculine plural („Orzytowskich”). Leonard Orzytowski is still alive in T75 (entry 7) and T90 (entry K).
the same entry also names: Orzytowski Jakub, Orzytowski3 persons on 3 hearths
the third person named solely by the husband-derived form „Leonardowey” — the card gives no forename of her own; the surname stands once, in the masculine plural („Orzytowskich”). Leonard Orzytowski is still alive in T75 (entry 7) and T90 (entry K).
the same entry also names: Orzytowski Antoni, Orzytowski3 persons on 3 hearths
the third person named solely by the husband-derived form „Leonardowey” — the card gives no forename of her own; the surname stands once, in the masculine plural („Orzytowskich”). Leonard Orzytowski is still alive in T75 (entry 7) and T90 (entry K).
the same entry also names: Soszyński Józef †2 persons on a holding without hearths
„SSrów” = sukcesorów (successors); „zaprzys.” = zaprzysiągł (he swore the oath) — the forename and surname of the person swearing the oath stand in the nominative („Woyciech Orzytowski”), so I keep the spelling of the card
„tegoż” refers back to Wojciech Orzytowski of the previous entry
a woman named solely by the husband-derived form „Leonardowej”; the surname in the feminine form („Orzytowskiej”). The same person stands in T89 entry 3 as „Leonardowey” among the „Orzytowskich”.
the last entry of T₀89 and of the whole village; taken in by a brace with the vertical addition „nie wysiewają 10 korcy”
the same entry also names: Soszyński Józef †2 persons on 3 hearths
here the surname is written „Orzetowskiego”, and in T75 (entries 5 and 7) „Orzytowskich”, „Orzytowskiego” — both forms on the same cards
the same entry also names: Orzytowski Jakób, Orzytowski Leonard3 persons on 3 hearths
the card itself gives both forms of the surname: „Orzytowskich (Orzetowskich)”
the same entry also names: Orzytowski Antoni, Orzytowski Leonard3 persons on 3 hearths
the card itself gives both forms of the surname: „Orzytowskich (Orzetowskich)”
the same entry also names: Orzytowski Antoni, Orzytowski Jakób3 persons on 3 hearths
the card itself gives both forms of the surname: „Orzytowskich (Orzetowskich)”
the same entry also names: Orzytowski Jakób, Orzytowski Leon3 persons on 3 hearths
the card again gives both forms of the surname in brackets. The third forename here reads „Leona” (Leon), while in T75 entry 7 and T90 entry K the same holding goes to „Leonarda” — a discrepancy between the sources, which I do not smooth out.
