Faustino di Joannes Baptista Defranceschi (fl. 1749), about 1725

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

«Patrini ad Sacrum Fontem fuere Gregorius Jurcich, et Faustino filio q.m Joannis Baptistæ Defranceschi» — 17 September 1749, at the font for Euphemia di Pietro Defranceschi 1749. Magnified and read letter by letter. He is the third grown child of the late Battista, and the first son. His sisters Antonia di Joannes Baptista Defranceschi (fl. 1743) and Anna di Joannes Baptista Defranceschi (fl. 1746) are named the same way — «filia q.m», «filia defuncti» — in 1743 and 1746. Three children identified by a dead father across six years, and not one baptism for any of them in this volume. (doc for the appearance; the sibling group is inf, on the identical formula and the single parish.) ⚠ Do not confuse him with the other Faustino. The register also carries D.us Faustinus, son of the chancellor D.nus Francisco Saverio Profumo, godfather in 1747 and 1748. That man is named by a living father and a title; this one by a dead father and none. Two Faustinos at one small castle, five years apart, and the only thing separating them is the half-line after the name. His father is not the Carnic Joannes Baptista, who is alive and standing godfather in 1744 and 1745. (inf.)
