1900 Rohatyn Census

A discussion on the difference between communities and manorial estates by Brian Lenius:

Hi Alan, Alexander, et. al,

I already sent my translation version to Alan privately as he

requested, but with all the responses on the SIG that were not

sent privately, I thought I would add mine here.

"Razem gminy i obszary doworskie powiatu sadowego Kolomyja."

I offer the following translation, "Total communities and

estates in the Judicial District of Kolomyja."

Some people will interpret "gminy" as "municipality", others

will interpret it as "commune". Both are correct dictionary

translations, but I think the best English term is "community".

The German equivalent in gazetteer sources is "Gemeinde" and

the Ukrainian is "Hromada".

Alexander Sharon suggests "communes" for "gminy" and this is

a valid translation that is most famously used for "Gemeinde"

in Switzerland. But the English term "commune" has a specific

connotation in North America that might be misleading to

some. Therefore I prefer the term "community."

Alexander also suggests the term "manorial territories" for

"obszary dworskie" but the term "manorial estate" or simply

"estate" is also commonly used.

I want to applaud the information that Alexander posted here

regarding the separate entities of estates and communities.

Even most experienced researchers do not know the

differences. Alexander, as usual, has brought forward an

important point regarding the jurisdictional organization of

Galicia. Most researchers refer incorrectly to a "town" or

"village" when in fact they are referring to the "estate" or

"community". The terms village and community are not the

same. For example, a single community may actually consist

of more than one village!

"Alexander S. wrote

"One of the English terms used for "obszary dworskie" is

"manorial territories".

It should be noted that manor was administratively separate

from commune, and persons living on manor territory did not

have the right to participate in the self-government of the

commune proper.

BTW, this administration system of the separation manors

from the communities existed only in Galicia and Bukovina

crownlands, but nowhere else in Austro-Hungarian Empire."
