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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1789 | List of possessors of holdings of 1789 | 1 | 1 | — |
| 1790 | Hearth tax register 1790 | 1 | 1 | 1,0 |
No entry from 1775, 1789 and 1794. This is the absence of the surname in the cards transcribed so far, not proof that the family was not there then: in the card file the 1794 register covers fewer villages than the others, and the 1775 one sometimes counts a whole starosty in a single entry, without surnames.

The card file also records the form Sztelegowska entries: 1 localities: 1 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 description of the hearths is rendered on the card by four marks of repetition („dymów wiejskich 2giej klasy” from line A). The surname read at elevenfold magnification letter by letter: S-z-t-e-l-e-g-o-w-s-k-i-e-g-o, without an ogonek under the second „e”; the form of the card „Sztelegowskiego”. In the same neighbourhood the card index knows the surname „Szteleczowski” (Izdebki Błażeje) — possibly the same family, but I do NOT bend the reading to that form.
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.
