„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.

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.

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 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 ONLY WOMAN IN THE WHOLE VILLAGE. The card gives her own forename („Anny”, in the genitive), her married surname in the feminine form („Sztelegowskiej”) and her maiden surname in the formula „z Staniszewskich” — hence the status: „z domu Staniszewska”, née Staniszewska, on the model of Franciszka née Głuchowska Nurzyńska (Szaniawy Matysy) and Katarzyna née Karwowska Radzikowska. This is not a husband-derived form, so the recorded form of the name remains empty. The maiden surname „Staniszewski” is attested in this neighbourhood (SLOWNIK-OKOLICY.md). The abbreviation „zaprzys.” (z-a-p-r-z-y-s-full stop) I leave unexpanded: the card does not say whether it is „zaprzysiągł” or „zaprzysiężona”, and from the word order it follows only that the oath was taken for her by her husband, Józef Sztelegowski — and beyond that I do not expand it. The surname in this extract with „Sz” and without an ogonek: „Sztelegowskiej”; over the junction of the „l” and the „e” stands a small stroke, whose function I do not resolve (an accent? a correction? the beginning of an ogonek?) [reading uncertain as to this sign, certain as to the letters]. A discrepancy with the other sigla: T89 and T94 (card 2) write this family without the „z” — „Stelegowski”.

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.
