Karel Morav does not rule out that there were other Jewish families living in the town, but since they had no real estate, their names are not written in the land registers. (In old records, the name of a Jewish settler was always accompanied by the designation Jud, Jüdin or in Czech written documents Jew, Jewish, which expressed their legal status at the time.) Among more than thirty people in the period under review, K. Morav managed to capture abundant family relations , the names of several burghers who also owned two houses and paid Jewish tax. Several local Jews also have a different field of activity than trade - at that time there was a Jewish scribe, a glazier, a butcher, a swordsman, a knife maker, a shoemaker, a furrier and a bag maker (that is, a purifier, a manufacturer of leather purses). As permanent surnames were introduced only in Theresian times, some Jewish citizens are still identified in the land registers by a more specific attribute (Izák Jew water, ie. living by „water“, Izrahel an old Jew, Johel a lame Jew, Samuel a small Jew, Jakub squinting Jew, a Jew Josef Šťastný), or the names of the parents or wife of the person in question are given.
