Corva
A family that married into this one.
Maria, daughter of the late Giacomo Corva of Muina, married Antonio de Franceschi of Gologorica at Svetvinčenat on 14 March 1785. She was living in the Svetvinčenat parish when she married, though of Muina by origin, and her banns were read at Muina. The archive identifies her, as an inference, with the Maria née Corva who is the mother of Osvaldo de Franceschi of Muina, and who by January 1808 was «vedova del fu Antonio de Franceschi». (doc for the entry; inf for the identification.)
- Her father Giacomo Corva is named in this archive for the first time in that entry, and was already dead in 1785. The Carnia page had her only as «Maria née Corva», with no marriage found and no father's name.
- The marriages essay names Corva and Crosilla together as the Carnian surnames that are Carnian in more than shape: in the scholarship on the Canale di Gorto emigration they are families of Ovaro's own commune, and a Giovanni Corva of Muina held tenants at Agrons.
- A stone in the Carnian cemeteries reads CORVA MARIANNA 1896–1979, beside De Franceschi Umberto 1892–1988. The photographs do not distinguish which of the four cemeteries (Ovaro, Mione, Muina, Agrons) it stands in, and the archive does not guess. (doc for the inscription.)
- The Muina marriage papers of 1806–07 hold two marriages of other Muina families, one of them a Corva, and no De Franceschi.
2 person pages in the archive under the surname Corva, or for someone married to a bearer of it. How each is known, in the archive's own words: Read off the register 2. Only the dead are listed here, and the dates are the archive's: none is added.
Corva of Muina
Two people the archive has a page for.
- Maria Corva, of Muina (m. 1785) undated Svetvinčenat Read off the register
- Marianna Corva (de Franceschi) (1896–1979) 1896–1979 Mione, Ovaro Read off the register
Not yet searched beyond the parish books and the civil registers. The Svetvinčenat marriage book (FamilySearch film 005497886, frame 98) holds the marriage of 1785; on the Italian state archives' portal (Antenati, Archivio di Stato di Udine) the Mione marriage papers and banns of 1808–09 and the Muina papers of 1806–07 have been read.
No step for this family is recorded on the work list. The archive's own statement of the gap is the Carnian route's: «The largest hole in the archive.»
Carnia and Friuli
- Who held it
- Venetian to 1797, Austrian 1815–66, Italian after.
- The registers
- Archivio di Stato di Udine, and the parish archives; the pre-1806 Ovaro books are in no portal at all.
- Beyond the registers
- Antenati (the Italian state archives portal) for the civil registration from 1806 — but it 403s this archive and its name search is behind a bot check. The Austrian decades 1815–66 should leave Habsburg administrative traces that nobody has looked for.
- Where this archive stands
- The largest hole in the archive. Fourteen of the seventy-one in-married families carry Carnian surnames — which is either the strongest circumstantial support the Carnia origin has, or a surname-morphology illusion. It has never been tested against a Carnian register.
- Crosilla — the other Carnian name the essay singles out
- Carnia: the Muina household and the Mione marriage papers
- Svetvinčenat: the castle the name never left
- The Marriages: the Carnian names, and why they matter
