the direct line, argued on the line

One name in the record is not drawn above: fatherGio Battista— the dates do not fit a record of 1756

This chart is the direct line and nothing else. Brothers and sisters are not drawn here: this archive records kin against a NAME rather than against a person, so the family on a name page may belong to several different people of that name. Where it is drawn it is read from the direct line, person by person.

What the archive knows

This household is at Šterna, not Svetvinčenat. The FamilySearch index entry for Felice Anto (22 September 1778) carries the image ark 3:1:3QS7-899X-KXF4, which resolves to film 005497887, frame 627 — a different film from Svetvinčenat's 005497885. The act was read there on 21 September 2026: > «Adì 27 9bre 1778. Copich. Felice Ant.o figlio legitimo e naturale di M.ro Bortolo De Franceschi…» That register is a different animal from Svetvinčenat's. It is kept in Italian, not Latin, and every entry carries a village name in its date heading — Sterna, Cabotori, Copich — because the parish serves a scatter of hamlets. Bortolo's children were baptised at Copich. The sister record confirms it: Mariana De Franceschi, February 1786, same father Bortolo, is indexed with the event place «Sterna, Litorale Austriaco» in as many words. (doc.) Šterna is in north-western Istria, near Buje — some seventy kilometres from Svetvinčenat. These are not the castle-town family and must not be read as them.
