Dear reader, remember that this is an AI study, that it may contain errors; treat it as indicative and verify it for yourself.
„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 | 1 | 1 | 1,0 |
| 1789 | Hearth tax register 1789 | 2 | 2 | 116,0 |
| 1789 | List of possessors of holdings of 1789 | 2 | 2 | — |
| 1790 | Hearth tax register 1790 | 2 | 2 | 116,0 |
| 1794 | Hearth tax register 1794 | 1 | 1 | 1,0 |
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 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.
JasionkaZbuczyn parish
the same item stands on the card twice: once in abbreviation, „cz. Rudnickiego Walen. 1 dwór,” (struck out), and once in full (not struck out) — counted once
KąkolewnicaTrzebieszów parish
The hearths concern the village of Kąkolewnica itself („wieś Kąkolewnica - dwór, …”), not the whole starosty: the list of villages stands here only to explain how far the starosty reaches. The breakdown: manor house 1 + parsonage 1 + brewery 1 + inn 1 + 103 cottages with 1 householder + 3 cottages without land or garden + 5 cottages with a garden = 115, which agrees with the underlined total „= 115 dym.” and with the total of T90 (115 + 1 hearth of the parish priest = 116); in the the breakdown of buildings field the three groups of cottages are added into one field „chaty” = 111. The possessor is named by the surname alone in the feminine form („dożywotnie Rudnickiej”), and the card gives no forename. The sigla: before „T89” stands a struck-out sign, which I take for a struck-out „0” — I accept T89, not T₀89 (see the note on the card).
The possessor for life is named by the surname alone in the feminine form — „Rudnickiej”; the card gives no forename in this place (it is given only by Ls. 89 on card 3): „Kunegundy Rudnickiej”, but I do not merge that). The form is unambiguously feminine, not „Rudnickiego” — checked under magnification. O83 (IX) on card 2) gives the leaseholder in the masculine form („Józefa Antoniego Rudnickiego”); I do not unify the gender. The hearths concern the village of Kąkolewnica itself — the list of the villages of the starosty stands here only to explain how far the starosty reaches, and the figure 115 stands after the repeated name „Kąkolewnica”. The figure 115 is underlined. „Kąkolewnica” in the list of villages without a clear ogonek [reading uncertain]; „Żakowa Wola” with a dot over the Ż.
Łukówparafia Łuków
A WOMAN — a forename of her own and the surname in the feminine form. The same family as „ssrów Józefa Rudnickiego” on card 21).
Probably the husband of Zofia Rudnicka, the burgher widow from card 17) — but the card does not say so and I do not join the two.
