The surname checked at a dozen-odd-fold enlargement: „Tarkowskiego”, the first vowel is an „a” (not a „u”), and so not „Turkowski”.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1775 | Hearth tax register 1775 | 9 | 9 | 9,0 |
| 1789 | Hearth tax register 1789 | 7 | 7 | 7,0 |
| 1789 | List of possessors of holdings of 1789 | 7 | 7 | — |
| 1790 | Hearth tax register 1790 | 8 | 8 | 9,0 |
| 1794 | Hearth tax register 1794 | 8 | 8 | 9,0 |
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.

The card file also records the form Tarkowska 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.

Left-hand column, line 9.
Left-hand column, line 10. Beside the surname the reference mark „1.)”; the note at the foot of the card runs „1.) ten sam” and links this entry with the addition „Zaprzys. brat Pawła Tarkowskiego ¹⁾” in the right-hand column (lp 13) — the card index marks that in both places THE SAME Paweł Tarkowski is meant.
Left-hand column, line 11 (the last) — it ends just above the lower edge of the card.
Right-hand column, entry 1. After the surname stands ONE WORD THICKLY CROSSED OUT with several strokes of the pen — at ninefold magnification nothing can be read from beneath them [reading impossible]. Below the line an addition: „Zaprzys. brat Pawła Tarkowskiego” („Zaprzys.” = zaprzysiągł/zaprzysiężony, he swore / was sworn — the card does not resolve the abbreviation) with the reference mark „1.)”, to which the note at the foot of the card says „ten sam”, that is, that this is the same Paweł Tarkowski as in the left-hand column (lp 11). Paweł I do NOT enter here a second time in the list of persons, so as not to double him within one extract — he already stands under lp 11, and the card itself identifies them.
the same entry also names: Tarkowska Teresa2 persons on a holding without hearths
The last entry of the extract and of the whole village. A WOMAN: Teresa Tarkowska — the surname in the feminine form, the forename of her own given directly, so the recorded form of the name is unnecessary. It is she who takes the oath („zaprzys.”) for the holding of the successors; she herself is alive. Wawrzyniec Tarkowski is dead (successors are named); the forename is written on the card „Wawrzenca”, with an „e”, just as in T94 on card 4) [reading uncertain as to this vowel — it may be „Wawrzyńca”]. The abbreviation „s̄srów” is a contracted „sukcesorów” (the letter „s”, a stroke over it, „srów”). The word „Tarkowskiego” is carried over to the next line. The entry is taken in by the vertical annotation „nie wysiewają 10 korcy”, running along the whole right-hand side of the column on card 7). The inscription takes in ALL nine entries of this card (from „cz. Jana Jastrzębskiego” at the top to „…zaprzys. Teresa Tarkowska” at the bottom) — the verb stands in the plural („wysiewają”), because it concerns them together.
the same entry also names: Tarkowski Paweł, Tarkowski Juljan, Tarkowski Wawrzyniec †4 persons on 3 hearths
Four persons against three hearths: the card separates them by semicolons and a conjunction into three holdings — {Jakób}, {Paweł i Juljan}, {sukces. Wawrzyńca}. The same pair „Paweł i Juljan” stands on one hearth in T75 as well (card 1), entry 3).
the same entry also names: Tarkowski Jakób, Tarkowski Paweł, Tarkowski Wawrzyniec †4 persons on 3 hearths

FOUR PERSONS, THREE HEARTHS: „Piotra i Juljana”, bound by the conjunction „i”, sit on one hearth, Jakób and the successors of Wawrzeniec at one each — 1+1+1 = 3, as the card gives it. The forename of the dead man is written „Wawrzeńca”; in the nominative I give the headword form Wawrzyniec, but the form on the card has an „e” and not a „y” [reading uncertain as to this vowel — the same spelling returns in T₀89 on card 7)]. The word „Tarkowskich” is carried over to the next line.

WielgórzZbuczyn parish
the same entry also names: Tarkowski Wojciech2 persons on 3 hearths
TWO PERSONS, THREE HEARTHS — the card does not set out how the hearths divide between them (there is no formula „po 1 dymie” here). In T90 on card 2) the same 3 hearths stand beside Idzi alone („E) cz. Idziego Tarkowskiego — 3”), and Wojciech Tarkowski T90 no longer names.
the same entry also names: Tarkowski Idzi2 persons on 3 hearths

Three hearths beside one person. In T75 on card 1 (card 1), entry 5) the same 3 hearths stand beside two persons: „cz. Wojciecha i Idziego Tarkowskich - dymów 3”.
In T89 the same holding has 2 hearths (a manor house and a cottage), in T94 — 3. I do not smooth the discrepancy over.
