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

⭐⭐ READ ON THE PAGE, 17 October 2026 — a brother of Franciscus Liberatus, in the Austrian navy at Pola. Marriage at Pola, 16 January 1871, k.u.k. naval parish (entry in the Trauungs-Buch 1867–1881, image): «Defranceschi Johann, k.k. Marinediener 4. Cl. [navy servant, 4th class], lawful son of Franz Defranceschi, Besitzer [landowner], and Franziska née Salomon», born at «Galignana in Istrien», Catholic, single, age «34» (the second digit is overwritten; the baptism makes him 37), married Paula Pietra, 19, born at Pola, daughter of Rocco … (a Landmann) and Johanna née Borri. doc for the entry. inf — strong — that he is the Joannes baptised at Gračišće house 5 on 30 June 1833, son of Joan. Bapt. Defranceschi and Francisca Salomon (h116): the mother's name and surname, the village and the surname agree, and his brother Franciscus Liberatus (b. 1840) married at Pula three years earlier with the same parents named. Two points do not agree and are stated, not smoothed: the father is written «Franz» where Gračišće and the 1868 and 1875 Pula entries have Joannes Baptista; and the age is 34, three years under the baptism. The Pula civil marriage books read for 1864–1901 have no marriage of his: he married in the naval parish, which is why the civil read did not find him. Nothing is yet known of Paula or of children; his death is not found.
