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 | 6 | 6 | 18,0 |
| 1789 | Hearth tax register 1789 | 2 | 2 | 20,0 |
| 1789 | List of possessors of holdings of 1789 | 5 | 5 | — |
| 1790 | Hearth tax register 1790 | 3 | 3 | 19,0 |
| 1794 | Hearth tax register 1794 | 3 | 3 | 19,0 |
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.
GołowierzchyTrzebieszów parish
the same entry also names: Rzewuski Tomasz2 persons on a holding without hearths
A two-part line: the holding of Antoni Rzewuski, „zaprzys.”, and underneath „Tomasz Rzewuski - syn - propinacja”. The card itself calls Tomasz a son — I enter this in the status, because it is the only indication of kinship in the whole village.
the same entry also names: Rzewuski Antoni2 persons on a holding without hearths
A two-part line: the holding of Antoni Rzewuski, „zaprzys.”, and underneath „Tomasz Rzewuski - syn - propinacja”. The card itself calls Tomasz a son — I enter this in the status, because it is the only indication of kinship in the whole village.
The surname „Brzewuskiego” [reading uncertain]: after „Brz” there follow clearly three signs — „e”, „w” (a pointed apex, as in „Karwowskiej” in the line above) and „u” (a round arc). So far the card index has neither „Brzewuskiego” nor anyone like him (there are „Brzeziński” and „Brzozowski”, but the shape of the letters does not allow it). To be resolved on the original.
Izdebki-KośmidryZbuczyn parish
Before the surname a two-letter abbreviation struck through with two diagonal strokes — illegible; the card gives no forename at this entry [reading uncertain]. T90 (entry A) assigns the same holding to the successors of Antoni Rzewuski.
CROSS-REFERENCE TO ANOTHER VILLAGE: 19 hearths takes in this holding TOGETHER with the property at Krasusze Gołowierzchy, so this is not the number of hearths of Kośmidry alone (cf. T75: 11 d. and T90: 15 d. on this holding). The word after „z” I read as „rzescią” [reading uncertain] — presumably „z resztą [dóbr]” (with the rest of the estate), the same as in the card index at Sokule and Pogonów.
the same entry also names: Rzewuski Tomasz2 persons on a holding without hearths
A two-part line: on the left „części Antoniego Rzewuskiego zaprzys.”, on the right and below „Tomasz Rzewuski - syn - propinacja”. The card itself calls Tomasz the son. The same record, in the same formula, stands in T₀89 for Gołowierzchy Krasuskich (card 8). Below the entry a horizontal stroke runs the full width of the card. I do not expand the abbreviation „zaprzys.”.

A CROSS-REFERENCE TO ANOTHER VILLAGE: the inn stands „na wsi Izdebkach Kosnach” (in the village of Izdebki Kosny), not in Kośmidry.
A description of the village, not a list of holdings — it gives no hearths. The card gives no forename; the office („chorąży ziemi łukowskiej”) differs from the title of the Rzewuski family recorded elsewhere in the card index.
Izdebki-KosnyZbuczyn parish
the card gives no forename
ModrzewZbuczyn parish
the card gives the surname before the forename. I read the surname as „Rzewuskiego” (Rzewuski) — after „Rzew” two minims and an „s”; the same hand writes it in the same way in T90, entry E („Rzewuskiego Adama”). [reading uncertain]
the entry is covered by the vertical addition „nie wysiewają 10 korcy”, running along the right-hand edge of the card through its whole height; the addition has no arm of a brace, so its reach (the right-hand column or the whole card) I base on its running from the first line to the last.
the ordinal letter is „E” (in this hand a capital E has a shape close to the figure 3). The last line of the card — T90 runs on onto card 3).
SobiczeZbuczyn parish
The entry corrected ON THE CARD: the original „Radzikowskiego” has been densely blotted out, and above the line „Rzewuskiego (?)” was added in a smaller hand. The question mark in the brackets is the card index's own doubt, not mine — I copy it literally and accept the surname „Rzewuski” as the last layer of the wording [reading uncertain]. The card gives no forename.
