the direct line, argued on the line

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

Born 6 October 1874, baptised the 11th — and CARLO DE FRANCESCHI stood godfather. Gologorica baptisms, folio 150 (M01069156), house 11: «FRANCISCUS CAROLUS NATALIS die 6. Octob. natus», of «Franciscus Defranceschi, possidens» and «Clotildis nata Ortis»; godparents «CARLO DEFRANCESCHI» and «Natale Stipanich», entered cives. (doc — DAPA ZM34K-214.)* He carries both godparents' names — Carolus for Carlo, his father's brother, who was six days short of sixty-five; Natalis for Natale Stipanich. The archive has Carlo's writings, his letter, his book and his grave. This is the first time it has him in his own village's register doing an ordinary family thing. ⭐ And the margin gives his death: «† Tergeste 17-2-1942» — died at Trieste, 17 February 1942, where this archive held only the year. ⚠ A second copy of the 1920 Commissariato ruling on the family surname is written out by hand at the foot of his page — the same act that is pasted in type over his brother Victor Richardus's entry. The signature is clearer here: «Avv. Mellone».
