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 | 4 | 4 | 26,0 |
| 1789 | Hearth tax register 1789 | 1 | 1 | 21,0 |
| 1789 | List of possessors of holdings of 1789 | 2 | 2 | — |
| 1790 | Hearth tax register 1790 | 1 | 1 | 23,0 |
| 1794 | Hearth tax register 1794 | 1 | 1 | 23,0 |
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-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.
Radzików-KornicaZbuczyn parish
added later, in blue ink. The surname is written here differently than in T75 (card) and O83 (card): on the card the string of letters comes closest to the form „Żyrzyńskiego” [reading uncertain]; as a headword I carry him as Rzyżyński, because the forename (Alexander) and the role in this village are the same. The discrepancy of spelling is noted, not smoothed over
Radzików-OczkiZbuczyn parish
the surname on this card is written indistinctly: after „Rzy” stands a letter with a crossbar (ż or t), then „…rzyńskiego”; the closest reading „Rzyżyńskiego” [reading uncertain]. The headword form „Żyrzyński” follows cards 3 (T89), 4 (O83) and 6 (T₀89), where the same surname stands clearly „Żyrzyńskiego”; the form Zyrzyński is also attested by SLOWNIK-OKOLICY (the castle-court books of Łuków, 1743–1744).

on the card written distinctly „Żyrzyńskiego”; on cards 1 (T75), 2 (T90) and 4 (T94) the same surname reads „Rzyżyńskiego”. The forename is written „Alexandra”. TWO BREWERIES AND TWO INNS — the reading checked under magnification, certain; this is the only breakdown of the hearth into buildings in this village. The card corrects the last item of the buildings: the original „bez gruntu i ogr.” is struck out, and „z” is added above the line, so that it comes out „6 chat. z ogr.” — the correction itself [reading uncertain], the fact of the striking-out certain. The breakdown adds up: 1+2+2+10+6 = 21.

PROPINATION — the reading checked under magnification, certain. The forename is written „Alexandra”. On the card written distinctly „Żyrzyńskiego”; on cards 1 (T75), 2 (T90) and 4 (T94) the same surname reads „Rzyżyńskiego”.

on the card written „Rzyżyńskiego”; the headword form „Żyrzyński” follows cards 3 (T89), 4 (O83) and 6 (T₀89), where it stands distinctly „Żyrzyńskiego”. The card index wavers between two forms of the same surname (a metathesis of sounds) — the discrepancy is not smoothed over. The villages of Rzązew and Kornica are today's Radzików Kornica (cards–468), where T89 refers outright: „Rzązew Kornica — zob. Radzików Oczki”.

a short description of the village — without figures and without a list of holdings, hence the hearths figure is empty. The Roman numeral (IX) in brackets, underlined.
the card gives no forename at this point; from the other extracts it follows that this is Aleksander. on the card written clearly „Żyrzyńskiego”; on cards 1 (T75), 2 (T90) and 4 (T94) the same surname reads „Rzyżyńskiego”.

The surname is written with a correction (the middle of the word reworked, the letters one on top of another) — the shape itself [reading uncertain]. In favour of the reading „Rzyżyński” speaks the identical combination of forename and surname in the T75 of Radzików Kornica („cz. Aleksandra Rzyżyńskiego 13”), attested in the card index.
