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 | 2 | 2 | 2,0 |
| 1789 | Hearth tax register 1789 | 2 | 2 | 2,0 |
| 1789 | List of possessors of holdings of 1789 | 2 | 2 | — |
| 1790 | Hearth tax register 1790 | 2 | 2 | 2,0 |
| 1794 | Hearth tax register 1794 | 2 | 2 | 2,0 |
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.
Where the surname occurs
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.
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.

The surname on card 1 is written MORE BRIEFLY than elsewhere and cannot be resolved into letters with certainty: after „Siestrz” two humps and a tall loop without a crossbar can be seen, then „owskiego” — I read „Siestrzuhowskiego” [reading uncertain]. On card 2 (T90 entry B), where the same hand writes more slowly, stands the full „Siestrzewitowskiego” with a distinct „t” with a long crossbar; the same on card 4 (T89). The forename in both places is Krzysztof, and the entry the same (1 hearth), so in the surname I give „Siestrzewitowski”; the form of card 1 remains literally in the text of the extract.
the card writes „Krzysztfa” — without the „o”; on cards 4 and 5 the same forename is written in full as „Krzysztofa”
Here the surname is written in its full, legible form — „Siestrzewitowskiego” — and it is this form that settles the uncertain reading of T75 entry 10.
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.
