The presented book is the second one by Grzegorz Krupi\u0144ski. It consists of inventories of starosties of Grodno poviat from 1765. Edition 2 with minor corrections and a new graphic design to help you familiarize yourself with the content.<\/p>\n

Starosties and leases were lands belonging to the kinddom which successive kings leased, most often to various dignitaries. Income tax, called \"kwarta\", was the basis for maintaining the army. A list of starosties and leases was carried out in 1765, after the coronation of Stanis\u0142aw August. His goal was to increase revenues for the royal treasury. The inspectors went around the land and, based on economic registers and the local vision, determined the amount of taxes due.<\/p>\n

Taxes paid to the empty royal treasury have increased significantly, and thanks to this we can learn the names of the mentioned farmers and lessees, as well as the amount and size of tributes due. The centers of starosties and leases were: Ber\u017cniki, Filip\u00f3w, Przero\u015bl, Sejwy, Wi\u017cajny, Polu\u0144ce, Wersele, Bokszyszki, Polu\u0144ce, Pe\u0142ejki in the Suwalki region.<\/p>\n

The censuses also include the starosty of Wasilk\u00f3w, Przewa\u0142ka, inventories of hunting and horseship of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The book contains additions in the form of an Old Polish glossary, the history of the starosties mentioned above, lords and tenants wielding them, a geographical index and an index of names.<\/p>\n

Due to scanty civil records material from the 18th century from Grodno poviat this book can be invaluable help not only for historians, but also for genealogists.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
