Ante / Antun Defrančeski of Ližnjan (fl. 1919–1920), about 1885

The family

No family chart is drawn for this person, and that is a statement about the data rather than about them. This archive records kin against a name — the tree on a name page gathers everyone who shares it, so it may hold one person's dates beside another's wife. Rather than hand a reader a family that might not be this person's, the chart is drawn only where the relationship is recorded person by person, which today means the direct line.

What the archive knows

Found only because somebody finally searched the Croatian spelling of the name. «Pučki prijatelj» (Krk), 19 December 1919 — a subscription list «sabrao među radnicima u arsenalu», collected among the workers of the Pula arsenal: among those giving one lira, «Defrančeski Antun». (doc.) «Pučki prijatelj», 27 February 1920 — another list, this one «Sabrano u Ližnjanu kod Pule», collected at Ližnjan near Pula: among those giving two lire, «Defrančeski Ante». (doc.) Ante is Antun, and fourteen months apart he is an arsenal worker and a subscriber at Ližnjan. (inf that the two entries are one man — the forename, the spelling and the district all agree, and nothing else does the work.) ⚠ Why he matters out of proportion to two lire. He stands on the Ližnjan line's own ground, in the years it runs through, and no sweep had found him — because the archive had searched «Defranceschi» and «Defranceski» and never «Defrančeski», the form a Croatian paper would actually print. One diacritic, and a working man at Ližnjan was invisible for a year. Born about 1885 — estimated from a man donating out of wages in 1919, and nothing narrower is claimed.
