term in real estate records
Working with a family document that I (with OK but non-fluent exposure to Slovak) am helping cousins with. There are about 10 terms that are puzzling, and I will enter several of them here separately. This is from a Resolution of a board determining an issue of land ownership, so this is a term pertaining to land records in the 1940s or earlier.
A sample phrase is "podľa B 99 na Helenu [married name], poťažne Helenu [married name] rod. [maiden name] zapisane.
Dzekuju!

Might work here. (One of the primary meanings is “by extension”.)

Nicholas Miller
: Isn't "by extension" rather "potažmo"?

potažmo is Czech, poťažne is Slovak (and, more rarely, poťažmo). So, yes, we're on the same page, it IS "by extension". :-) see http://slovnik.azet.sk/pravopis/slovnik-sj/?q=poťažne
