„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, 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.

The ONLY entry of this village broken down into buildings: 1 manor house + 1 inn + 4 cottages = 6 hearths — it agrees to the unit. THE INN: the word is abbreviated on the card to „karcz,” (the letters k-a-r-c-z legible at ninefold magnification), without a figure before it — I count it as one, because otherwise the total 6 would not close. I read the surname „Wieprzeckiego” (W-i-e-p-r-z-e-c-k-i-e-g-o); hitherto unattested in the neighbourhood [reading uncertain as to the headword form, the letters certain]. The figure beside „o 1 gosp.” is outlined thickly, as if corrected. Below the line an addition referring on, in the hand of the same card index: „zob. Tchórzew Wielki (Rogale Główki)” — Wieprzecki therefore held a holding in the neighbouring village as well.
