„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 1789, 1790 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.

A DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE SIGLA: in T75 the surname has a clear „r” after „st” and a dotless „y” — „Ostroyskich”; in T90 (card 3) stands „Ostojskiego” (without „r”, with a dot over „j”), in T89 (card 4) „Ostojskich”, in T94 (cards 5–6) and T₀89 (cards 6–7) „Ostoyskiego”. It is recorded here as it stands in this transcript; reducing it to a single headword I leave to the owner. The card places no comma after „Macieja”, but the three hearths „po 1 dymie” prove that these are three persons

A TWO-LINE ENTRY: the second line („i w 3 części – 2 dymy”) is indented to the right, has no number of its own and belongs to the same entry — 4 hearths in all, which the card's own total confirms (without this line it would come to 12, and the card gives 14). One man therefore holds three separate holdings: two of one hearth each and a third of two hearths. In the word after „po” a strikethrough or a mark of abbreviation is visible; I read „po jedn.” [reading uncertain]. The surname with a clear „r” after „t”: „Ostroyskiego” — unlike „Ostoyskich” in entry 2 of the same list.
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.
