„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.

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 file also records the form Sobiczowski entries: 24 localities: 4 We record a surname as it stands on the card, because the feminine form is sometimes the only sign that the person is a woman; the two entries therefore stay separate. Whether this is the same family is for the reader to decide, not for this list.

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 same entry also names: Sobiczowski B[artłomiej]2 persons on a holding without hearths

The line takes up two rows: „cz. Agnieszki Sobiczowskiej, stryjen-/ki wdowy – zaprzys. tenże B. Sobiczowski.”. A WOMAN — one of three in this extract (entries 9, 14 and 22).

the card calls her „stryjenką wdową”; „stryjenka” = the wife of a paternal uncle — a statement of kinship with someone of the Sobiczowskis, probably with Bartłomiej, who swore her tax declaration (fasja). I do not resolve whose stryjenka she was.

A WOMAN; the forename on the card „Maryanny”

T₀89holdingcz. co zost. pos. tejże Maryanny Sobiczowskiej:card 6)
The abbreviations „zost. pos.” I read as „zost[ałe] pos[esyi]” / „zost[ające] w pos[esyi]” — I DO NOT PREJUDGE THE EXPANSION [the reading of the letters certain, the expansion uncertain]; the same formula „części zost. tegoż N.N.” stands in the card index at other villages and is uncertain there as well. The line ends with a colon, and beneath it the compiler of the card index drew a horizontal stroke across the whole width of the card, cutting it off from the brace taking in entries 16–22. I DO NOT RESOLVE whether the colon announces a list below (the lines below the stroke, however, name other possessors, not the holdings of Maryanna) — I leave that to the owner.

„tejże” refers to Maryanna Sobiczowska of entry 14

SobiczowskaAnna

T₀89does not sow 10 korce bracecz. Anny Sobiczowskiejcard 6)
A WOMAN; the card adds no qualification beside her (neither „wdowy” nor any other). The last line of card 6 and the last entry taken in by the brace — the lower point of the brace ends just below this line. Taken in by the great brace running along the right-hand margin of card 6, beside which vertically (from the bottom upwards) is added „nie wysiewają 10 korcy”. The brace takes in seven entries: 16–22, from „cz. Marcina Chromińskiego” to „cz. Anny Sobiczowskiej” (the last line of the card). The upper limit of the brace is marked by a horizontal stroke drawn across the whole width of the card below entry 15.
