In this paper we present results of finite-lattice studies of the {ital t}-{ital J} and the {ital t}-{ital t}{prime}-{ital J} model for 18 (20) sites with up to 4 (2) holes. A modified Lanczos algorithm allowed for the classification of the ground state according to total spin {ital S}. In the one-hole sector we find evidence for the existence of hole pockets. We calculate the effective quasiparticle band and show qualitative differences between the {ital t}-{ital J} and {ital t}-{ital t}{prime}-{ital J} model for {ital J}{approx gt}0.2. As {ital U} increases we notice a substantial band narrowing, which is maximal at the Nagaoka transition, accompanied by {ital S}-level crossings rendering a quasiparticle description difficult. In the high-doping regime we present hole binding energies for up to six holes for the {ital t}-{ital J} model. Evidence for phase separation is only found for {ital J}{gt}{ital t}. We also studied the magnetic structure of the ground state on the 18-site lattice in the limit {ital J}=0. We present a complete ground-state classification for all numbers of holes {ital N}{sub {ital h}} and find {ital S}={ital S}{sub max} at quarter filling in addition to the Nagaoka case.
