Crosilla
A family that married into this one.
Crosilla is one of the two in-married surnames the archive's marriages essay calls Carnian in more than shape. The essay says the scholarship on the Canale di Gorto emigration names it as a family of Ovaro's own commune, and that the Micoli Crosilla Toscano were the leading house of Mione, who built the casa delle cento finestre and ran a cloth shop at Pinguente. In Istria, two Crosilla husbands are recorded with a Defranceschi wife, and the essay adds that a Jacobina Defranceschi, born 1804, was buried in 1882 as the wife of a Joan-Baptae Crosilla.
- Two households, both index only: no register read: Gio Battista Crosilla and Giacoma De Franceschi (h025, two children, 1825 and 1831, at «Croazia, Austria» as the index puts it) and Joan Baptista Crosilla and Jacoba Defranceschi (h063; the index names him as father on two baptisms, 1833–1845).
- In Carnia, the name stands twice among the witnesses at the Ovaro wedding of 1815 (Crisilla: Giovanni del fu Giacomo, 69, possidente, and Giacomo del fu Nicolò, 69, falegname), and Orsola née Crosilla, of Liariis stock, is the wife of Pietro Ermanni of Mione. (doc.)
- Giovanni Micoli-Toscano was godfather to Felice Santo de Franceschi on 2 November 1792, of the family whose Mione palace holds the 1679 weavers' contracts. (doc.)
- A stone reads ANNA CROSILLA ved. SORAVITO DE FRANCESCHI 1900–1990; the photographs do not say in which of the four Carnian cemeteries it stands. (doc for the inscription.)
- The essay's own verdict on the Istrian burial: «not proof of descent», and it adds, «a very loud coincidence».

Not yet searched for the Crosilla themselves. The name turns up incidentally in the Antenati files read for De Franceschi: Mione marriage papers of 1811 and 1813 and the Ovaro marriage of 1815 (Archivio di Stato di Udine).
The marriages page calls the Carnian names «the best lead on the page and the least worked», and says the archive «has never tested a single one of them against a Carnian register».
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.
