the direct line, argued on the line

2 names in the record are not drawn above: fatherGiuseppe Defranceschi— the dates do not fit a record of 1775 · motherFrancesca Defranceschi— the dates do not fit a record of 1775

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 row has no note, and the reason is worth more than a note: its dates are the documented ones, and the document was filed on a different row. This row carries 1720–1804 off a family tree. The Gologorica death register gives «[domus] 36 · 26 augusti [1804] · D.na HELLENA, vid. q. JOSEPHI DEFRANCESCHI ex loco · annorum 84 · Maligna» — eighty-four in August 1804, so born about 1720, dead 1804. And the obit calendar agrees from a second book: «26. · Signora Ellena Ved.ª q. Gius.ᵉ Defranceschi, d'anni 84 — 1804». (doc — DAPA ZM34K-214, M01069215: the Gologorica obit calendar, under 26 August.) > Two registers and this row agree on 1720 and 1804. The row that carries the write-up carries 1725–1809. ⚠ Nothing is merged and nothing is moved. Identity here is by record, and a moved id is a dead URL. What is recorded is the problem: this archive holds two rows for what is probably one woman, attached the evidence to the one the evidence contradicts, and did not notice until a third book turned up. Raised on the work list.
