„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.

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.

the surname „Słowik” — hitherto unattested in the hearth-tax card index; the form on the card (blue ink, „Sł” with a distinct stroke at the „ł”) is certain, and the surname is confirmed by SLOWNIK-OKOLICY.md (the castle-court books of Łuków)

this entry alone has no number on the card and begins with the word „Włość” (not „cz.”) [reading uncertain — the letters V/W-ł-o-ś-ć, the word checked at magnification with sharpening]. It fits in content: this is the manorial holding which T89 (card 3) describes as the manor house, inn and 3 cottages of Mikołaj and Franciszek Słowik. The surname read „Słowika” — confirmed by T90 („cz. Mikołaja Słowika”).

a holding joined with the rest of the estate of the same persons in the village of Pióry Pytki — this confirms what the heading of T75 on card 1 announces („Pióry Wielkie i Pytki”). The inn is read with certainty.

„w pos. zast.” = in a pledged possession. Above the word „Libiszewskiego” „propinacja” is added and underlined — the reading of this word is certain, checked under magnification. This is the same holding that T89 (card 3) describes as a manor house, an inn and 3 cottages joined with the rest in the village of Pióry Pytki. The surname of the pledge-holder, Libiszewski, has not so far occurred in the card index or in the dictionary of the area.
