„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	1	1	1,0

No entry from 1789, 1790 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-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.

T751 hearthwidow10) cz. Turzowskiey wdowy – dym 1card 2)

The first entry of card 2 (f. 748), under the heading „T75 c.d.”. The figure „1” is underlined. The third and last woman in my part of the Zalesie extracts.

A WOMAN, THE SURNAME [READING UNCERTAIN]. The card writes „…urzowskiey wdowy”; the ending „-urzowskiey wdowy” is legible beyond doubt, whereas THE INITIAL CAPITAL OF THE SURNAME remains unsettled. Checked with one twofold magnification: the glyph has a vertical stem with a hook at the top and a sharp ending in the shape of a „V”, so that it can be read as a „T” (→ Turzowska), as a „V” (→ Vurzowska, a non-Polish form), or as a „J” (→ Jurzowska). The shape does not agree exactly with any of these majuscules elsewhere in the same hand („Tomasza” in the line below has a „T” with a horizontal bar, „Jana” has a „J” with a lower loop). I enter the form „Turzowska” as the closest to the shape of the letters, but I DO NOT REGARD THE READING AS SETTLED — I report it FOR THE OWNER TO DECIDE. The surname in none of the three forms is in `SLOWNIK-OKOLICY.md`. ¶ The card gives no forename of her own and gives no form derived from a husband's name — the given name and the recorded form of the name are empty. ¶ Before the surname stands one more blurred sign, which I read as the abbreviation „cz.” (as in the remaining eighteen entries of this register), though its shape more resembles the letter „a”.

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.
