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

⭐ Born at Pola on 21 May 1894, to a mother who carried the name and no father on the page. On 31 May 1894 «Joannes Antonius» was baptised at the cathedral (house 139, Monte Serpo; baptiser Joannes Mladossich, coop. par.), «natus die 21 curr. 94» — the mother column reads «Franceschi Francisca, ex orphanotrophio Tergestino» («from the Trieste orphanage»; the last word is read «vidua» and is doubtful), the father's column is empty, the godparents are Hussich Joannes, farmer, and Antonia his wife (Pula births X, page 176, image 532 of waypoint 9R2Z-3T1, open). doc. The surname is the mother's, and a foundling-home girl's surname is very likely an invented one — the Trieste orphanage gave its charges Italian surnames — so this is the name with no known descent attached (inf; a one-name-study entry, not a claim of kin). The entry was found through the births index, 9R28-3TR image 87 (1894, «Franceschi Joannes il. Franciscae», vol. X p. 176). Not traced beyond the baptism.
