Franciscus Antonius Defranceschi, 1785 — The Defranceschi Archive

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

Baptised 13 April 1785 at house 31 — son of Joannes Baptista and Theresia née Grach. His godfather is his mother's own kin and a churchman: «Archipresbiter Grach» of Cherbune — Krbune; godmother Catharina Defranceschi; midwife Maria Chrismanich. He had no dates in this archive. (doc.) Gologorica baptisms 1784–1880 — DAPA microfilm ZM34K-214, image M01069015, folio 3. --- ⭐ 11 October 2026 — the same baptism in a second register, and it says whose wife the godmother was. > 31 · Die 13 Aprilis anno 1785 · «Ego idem Parochus baptizavi filium legitimum natum ex Joanne Bapta Defranceschj ejusque uxore Teresia … nomen Franciscus Antonius. Patrini fuere D.ⁿᵘˢ Archipresbiter GRAH, Parochus Cherbune, et CATTARINA UXOR JOANNIS BAPTA DEFRANCESCHJ.» (doc — DAPA ZM34K-214, M01068944, «Liber Baptizatorum II».) Liber IV gives the godmother only as «Catharina Defranceschi». Liber II names her husband — so the parish is separating the two Joannes Baptistas by their women for the fourth time in this book. Theresia bore him; Catharina stood for him. ✔ And the two registers agree on the house: 31 in both. Which is worth something to the renumbering question.
