# Mętów liquidation table — village landholders **Source.** Archiwum Państwowe w Lublinie, *Zbiór tabel likwidacyjnych lubelskiej i siedleckiej guberni* (zespół 168), **sygn. 1818/I** — *tabela likwidacyjna* ("Данная") of selenie **Mętów**, Lublin gubernia, Lublin uezd, gmina **Głusk**. Digitised as unit **2767238** ("Mętów, Gmina: Głusk, Zemborzyce"), 16 scans. Dated by the attached Lublin Commission cover letter to **Dec 1870** (postanowienie 30 Dec 1870, No. 1297). Catalogue: https://www.szukajwarchiwach.gov.pl/jednostka/-/jednostka/2767238 **Structure (sygn. 1818/I‑II).** - **Часть I** — main liquidation table, **41 landholder households** (scans 5–6), + text supplements / revised-figure extracts ("ВЫПИСКА", "Данная") on scans 4, 7–8. - **Часть II** — cadastral **land survey by parcel** (urochishcze/field name, not householders), scans 9–16. No additional people. Page-citation template: `…/jednostka/-/jednostka/2767238?p_p_id=Jednostka&_Jednostka_delta=1&_Jednostka_cur={SCAN}`. Main table on scan 5 (hh 1–30) and scan 6 (hh 21–41). ## Method Town cohort = every vault person tied to Mętów by `born_place`/`died_place` (26 people, all **Barbanel + Rochwerg** + one Hofman child). Household heads for an 1870 table are the fathers; matched all 41 householders against the full cohort + the broader Barbanel/Rochwerg pool. ## Householders Of 41 landholder households, **38 are Christian peasants** (Tylec, Paździór, Dudziak, Drbal, Skalecki, Kaznowski, Wójcik, Melnik, Kowalczyk, Podolski, Broda, Czyżewski, Lewandowski, Lenga, Kosiński, Eleniewski, Grabowski, Miklarek, Mazurek, Kowelnik, + heirs of Anton Brodzi d.1867, + school plot hh 30). The **3 Jewish householders are all Rochwerg:** | hh# | table entry | vault profile | land | placement | |---|---|---|---|---| | 2 | Рохвертъ Іосифъ (Rochwerg Josef) | [[Josef Rochwerg (b.1839)]] | ~16 morg | **Evidence** (scan 5) | | 23 | Рохвертъ Айзекъ (Rochwerg Ajzyk) | [[Ajzyk Rochwerg (b.1841)]] | ~6 morg | **Evidence** (scan 6) | | 29 | Рохвертъ Вульфъ (Rochwerg Wolf) | *(no profile — patriarch, father of hh 2 & 23)* | ~1 morg 22 pr | **Open question** on both sons' profiles (scan 6) | Recorded surname spelling throughout: **Rochwert** (Рохвертъ). Crops: `08 Attachments/Evidence/Metow-LT-1818I-hh{02,23,29}-Rochwerg-*.png`. The table thus captures **three generations of one Rochwerg household** — patriarch **Wolf Rochwerg** (hh 29) plus his two sons **Josef** (hh 2) and **Ajzyk** (hh 23) — each with a separate enfranchised Mętów plot in 1870. Per user decision, Wolf Rochwerg is **not** given a new profile now; his 1870 landholding is recorded as an Open question on Josef's and Ajzyk's profiles (create-profile deferred). ## Key finding — Barbanel absence (negative evidence) **No Barbanel appears among the 41 Mętów landholders**, even though the vault's Mętów Barbanels — **[[Chaim Barbanel (b.1840)]]** and **[[Chil Barbanel (b.1848)]]** — fathered children born in Mętów across **1867–1885** (e.g. Ruchla b.1869, Judka Zindel b.1871, Josef Zindel b.1872, Matys b.1877, Dawid b.1879, Rajzla b.1882, Judka b.1885). Conclusion: the Mętów Barbanels were **landless residents** (leaseholders/merchants), not enfranchised peasant landowners — a useful constraint for the Barbanel line. *(Per user: recorded here only, not added to the Barbanel profiles.)* ## Other Mętów tables? - This unit (2767238 = sygn. 1818/I) is the enfranchisement table + its cadastral survey. *(Catalogue check for any further Mętów liquidation-table units pending — see session notes.)*
