The poll tax of the Łuków land, 1673, 1674 and 1676

People named in the register

One line is one entry of the register, not a person demonstrated to be the same: the same man could be written twice, and two namesakes read as one. Clicking a line opens the entry in the wording of the manuscript; “excerpt” shows the leaf on which it stands.

These two columns give the standard form, not the spelling of the manuscript: surnames are normalised after this site’s hearth-tax card index (hence “Krasuski” where the register writes “Kraszuski”), first names are given in present-day spelling (hence “Maciej” for “Maciey”). The entry itself is untouched — the wording of the manuscript is shown when a line is expanded and under Places, and where the normalisation is only probable it carries a reservation. Place names likewise: the column gives the form used in the hearth-tax card index or the present-day name, while the register’s own spelling stays in the heading of the block. Short forms are not expanded: “Bartosz” and “Wojtek” stand as they are, because expanding them would be a guess. The search knows both spellings.

Nothing matches. Try a shorter fragment — the search matches parts of words, and the spelling of the manuscript is often not today’s.
