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 15 April 1873, baptised 12 May, at house 14 — and this row was «unplaced» until today. Gologorica baptisms, folio 148 (M01069155): «ELVIRA GISELLA die 15. Aprilis nata», of «ALOYSIUS DEFRANCESCHI, MERCATOR» and «Joanna nata Udovicic»; godmother «Adelaide Stipanich»; midwife «Sancta Sestan». (doc — DAPA ZM34K-214.)* She came off David's live MyHeritage tree with a name and nothing else — «tree-derived: no register has been read for this person here», line «unplaced». The register gives her a father with a trade, a mother, a house and a day. Her sister is Ersilia, born 8 December 1878 (M01069161). ✔ RESOLVED 11 October 2026 — her father is not a dead man. The 1921 census heads house 87 with «De Franceschi Aloisius, mercator», born 4 May 1832, wife «Joanna n. Udovičić», and enters «Gisella, filia» with her own day — 15 Aprilis 1873 — and the «Senes» list counts him alive at seventy-six in 1908. The death year 1870 is withdrawn. The paragraph that follows is left as written, because it is what the archive knew on 5 October. ⚠ And her father was a problem: this archive carries Aloysius Defranceschi (1832–1870), Carlo's brother, as dead three years before she was born. The collision is set out here and nothing is changed on his record.
