„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 | 7 | 7 | 7,0 |
| 1789 | Hearth tax register 1789 | 11 | 11 | 8,0 |
| 1789 | List of possessors of holdings of 1789 | 11 | 11 | — |
| 1790 | Hearth tax register 1790 | 10 | 10 | 7,0 |
| 1794 | Hearth tax register 1794 | 10 | 10 | 7,0 |
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.

A QUESTION MARK ON THE CARD: between „cz.” and „ssrów” stands a clear, thickly set QUESTION MARK — a doubt of the author of the card index himself, not mine. The same question mark stands beside two entries of the right-hand column of this card (the successors of Fabian Osiński and the successors of Tomasz Zawiski); in the whole list of the town it occurs nowhere else and it always accompanies successors. The surname carried over to the second line („Swierczow-skiego”). „zap.” = zaprzysiężony, sworn, in the nominative.

Świerczeparafia Łuków
the same entry also names: Świerczowski Tomasz, Świerczowski Jan, Świerczowski Paweł, Świerczowski Marcin5 persons on 5 hearths
The forename „Tomasza” is struck out on the card with a single horizontal stroke, and yet the total of the entry comes to 5 with five forenames and the wording „po 1 dymie” — the striking out was therefore not subtracted from the number of hearths. I record the person, because it is he who is named in the source. The reckoning confirms the reading: 5 + 6 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 14, as much as „Razem dymów 14”.
the same entry also names: Świerczowski Franciszek, Świerczowski Tomasz, Świerczowski Paweł, Świerczowski Marcin5 persons on 5 hearths

The entry has two figures: „= 1 d.” is the partial total for the first three (Tomasz, Franciszek and Jędrzej together on one hearth), and „= 3 d.” is the total of the whole Świerczowski entry — 1 hearth of those three plus a hearth each for Jan and for Pawłowa. Counted so, the card's total closes: 9 + 3 + 1 + 4 = 17. „Pawłowej” is a form derived from the husband's name, without a forename of her own — a woman; I enter it literally in the recorded form of the name, and leave the surname in the form of the card (the masculine plural „Świerczowskich”), in accordance with the rule for collective entries.

A WOMAN — the only one in this village named by a forename of her own as the possessor of a holding. The surname on the card is in the feminine form („Świerczowskiej”), the forename certain. This is most probably the same Ewa who in T90 and T94 stands as a life tenant on the holding of Jan Świerczowski („cz. Jana pod dożywociem Ewy”); here, in the list of possessors of 1789, she holds the holding in her own right.
The entry stands in the right-hand column of the card, level with entry 1, and is the only one to have the note about not sowing written out horizontally and in the singular („nie wysiewa”); the remaining sixteen are covered by a vertical brace with the addition in the plural („nie wysiewają 10 korcy”).
the same entry also names: Świerczowski Jan, Świerczowski Franciszek, Świerczowski Tomasz, Świerczowski Andrzej5 persons on 2 hearths
Four possessors (Jan, Franciszek, Tomasz, Andrzej), two hearths — the figure 2 is underlined and confirmed by the card's total. Ewa is not a possessor, but a life tenant on Jan's holding; she is a woman and the card gives her own forename, so I record it in the recorded form of the name literally as it stands, in the genitive („Ewy”), and the surname in the feminine form. The same addition about Ewa is repeated by T94, but there her forename is struck out.
