Spreadsheet Guide: A list of people from Rohatyn who were eligible to vote for members of the Parliament in 1870 (non-Jewish names not included). The database contains the individual's surname, given name, employment or property owner, house number and various taxes that were paid.
Document Guide: A footnote written at the end of the list appears as "Nineyaxy spzo srytonono i gmimie do wolonego poxejix i 8 douisry termain rohtamayany-egena pta ratan. Mytozorzo m ganinise Rogatin doria 870." Due to the illegible handwriting of this footnote, the lettering of this phrase is an approximate and translation is difficult. The list is signed and sealed with the mark, "Rohatyn, urzad gminy kr. wol. miasta."

Licsba porzad = Item number.

Roczna Naleztyosc Podatku = Annual tax paid
