Antonia di Joannes Baptista Defranceschi (fl. 1743), about 1720

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

«Die 20 Xbris [1743] … Patrini fuerunt, D.us Jacobus Zuecha, necnon Antonia filia q.m Joannis Baptistæ De-/:franceschi.» — magnified and read letter by letter. She is named by her dead father, which is how the register identifies an unmarried woman, so in December 1743 she is grown and not yet married. That puts her birth about 1720, and no later than about 1727. (doc for the appearance; the birth window is inferred from the office and the wording.) ⚠ Her father is not the Carnic Joannes Baptista. «q.m» — quondam, the late — but Joannes Baptista de Franceschi Ex Cargna 1742 is standing godfather at this same font in 1744 and again in 1745, alive. They are two men of one forename, which by now is the ordinary condition of this parish rather than a surprise. (inf.) Film 005497885, image 136 — Births 1709–1764 of Svetvinčenat, read on the plate 23 September 2026. In no index anywhere. She has a sister. 17 October 1746: «Anna filia defuncti Baptistæ Defranceschi» — Anna di Joannes Baptista Defranceschi (fl. 1746), named in the same formula, by the same dead father, three years later. (inf for the sisterhood; doc for each appearance.) And a brother. 17 September 1749: «Faustino filio q.m Joannis Baptistæ Defranceschi» — Faustino di Joannes Baptista Defranceschi (fl. 1749). Three of the late Battista's children now stand in this register, across six years, and not one of them has a baptism in it. (inf for the sibling group.)
