These are Galician land-and-court record books.

Typical contents of “księgi i akta gruntowe”

• Property transfers and sales (kupno–sprzedaż), including seller, buyer, exact description of the parcel, neighbors, purchase price, and dates.

• Mortgages and liens (hipoteki, zastawy) showing who borrowed money, from whom, on which property, and on what terms.​

• Inheritance and division of estates (spadki, podziały majątku), e.g., succession after a death, naming heirs, relationships, and shares of land.

• Contracts and obligations: leases of farms, mills, inns, breweries, artisans’ shops, long‑term rentals, contracts with tenants and leaseholders, and debt acknowledgments.

• Judicial decisions of the Tarnów court concerning land disputes, unpaid debts, boundary conflicts, and enforcement of contracts, sometimes with witness statements

What this means for genealogical use

• Frequent appearance of individuals with full names, status (e.g., kmieć, mieszczanin, karczmarz), place of residence, and often patronymics or spouses’ names.

• Multi‑page notarial acts that may mention previous owners going back several generations, allowing reconstruction of property ownership chains.​

• References to other records (mortgage books, cadastral parcels, municipal books) that can help you link people across different archival series and map them to specific plots.   ( Perplexity.ai)
