Castle court records

AI study
The Łuków castle court records 1743–1744 in an AI study
A translation of 2132 entries into Polish, with a search by surname and place name, prepared by the AI model Claude Opus 5. Like any AI-produced edition it should be treated with a measure of criticism, and its key information verified independently.
Surnames in the Łuków castle court records — 569 surnames, 565 with a headword of their own: the persons with their kinship, the entries in the full wording of the translation, the places and estates, and for 227 families fragments of family trees.

The burning of the Łuków land and castle records in 1657
Stanisław Domaszewski’s manifestation, made on 24 September 1657 and entered in 1693 into the Lublin castle records: when the books burned, at whose hand, and what else was lost with them. A full translation of the entry.

The Łuków Surveys of 1653 and 1659–1660
Two surveys of the royal estates — one written before the Deluge, the other after it — set side by side, heading by heading: houses, hides, crafts, mills, propination, fairs, wartime losses. Full transcriptions of both texts with a translation of the Latin passages.
Scans and abstracts
The Jasińskis in the castle court and land court records of the Lublin region
Over 1300 scans of entries mentioning Jasińskis in the castle court and land court records of Lublin, Horodło, Chełm, Krasnystaw and Grabowiec — among them the Chełm book for 1577–1580, the oldest source known to me, apart from the armorials and the tax lists, in which the Jasińskis of Jasionka are named together with the name of their village.
A separate page: a link to the scans and abstracts of twenty entries in which forty-eight Jasińskis appear.

Tax registers

Fiscal registers: the poll tax, the hearth-tax registers and the census of population. In them a place is seen not through lawsuits but through hearths and heads — with figures that can be checked.

The 1673, 1674 and 1676 poll taxes of the Łuków land, edited with AI
Three registers of the same land, drawn up three years apart, each record in the wording of the manuscript. The register of 1676 — the general poll tax enacted at the coronation Sejm of John III — is published in full; beside it stand the registers of 1673 and 1674 (AGAD, ASK I/72), read leaf by leaf. The buttons above the table filter by register year, and the search — surnames, places and the text of the entries — works across all three at once.
Named entries: 6892 (1673 — 2150, 1674 — 2819, 1676 — 1923); places: 352; pages of the 1673 and 1674 registers transcribed: 359, pages in all: 368.
Every place carries the matching piece of the register leaf — joined into one image where the entry runs on to the next leaf — and a link to the whole leaves. The registers were drawn up parish by parish and estate by estate, just after the years of war: they show the petty nobility named by first name, byname and surname, and beside them whole royal villages taken in a single collective item. The amounts of the 1676 register were read twice, straight from the column of the manuscript; the discrepancies between the sum of the entered amounts and the reckoning of the register are shown in the edition, not smoothed away. A present-day map shows where these places lie today, and it follows both the register year and the search. Like any AI-assisted edition, it calls for critical reading and for checking the key information independently.
AI study
The hearth tax of the Łuków Land 1775–1794 in an AI study
Extracts from four hearth tax registers — for the years 1775, 1789, 1790 and 1794 — and from the census of 1787, prepared by the AI model Claude Opus 5. Every person has a record of their own, with the number of hearths, the byname and the office held, wherever the card gives them; the 1789 register even says what a hearth was made up of — manor house, brewery, inn, cottages. Each place is given its 1787 population, a map and a statistical summary. The search covers surnames, forenames, bynames and the text of the extracts.
The transcripts cover four parishes of the Łuków Land — Zbuczyn, Trzebieszów, Łuków and Tuchowicz. They are part of the card index of materials gathered at the Workshop of the Historical and Geographical Dictionary of Lesser Poland in Kraków (part of the Institute of History of the Polish Academy of Sciences). The figures can be checked: the cards give their own hearth totals, and the 1787 population agrees to the last person with the printed census published by Fr Bolesław Kumor. Even so, like any work produced by AI, it should be treated with a measure of caution, and the key facts checked for yourself.
Localities of the hearth tax of the Łuków Land — 161 localities, 158 of them with a page of their own: hearths year by year, the population of 1787, key figures and all the extracts of the card file in the wording of the cards.
Surnames in the hearth tax of the Łuków Land — 389 family headwords: where the family occurs, in which registers, how many hearths, what bynames, offices and establishments — propinations, inns, breweries.
