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

⚠ 6 October 2026 — this row was stale, and it is the SECOND one found the same way in one afternoon. It carried «born 1763» and an empty note, while the line data had held «born 4 March 1765» — documented, and explicitly recorded there as a correction of «about 1763». A finding in one file and not the other. Caught by walking page 75 of the death register and testing the roster against it. The death entry. Gologorica deaths, image M01069266, page 75, in the compressed one-line format Petrus Milcetich adopted: > «Xbris 12° · Josephus Defranceschi · 74 · 9 · 7 · febris nervosa» — 12 December 1838, aged 74 years 9 months 7 days, of nervous fever. ⚠ AND THE REGISTER'S OWN ARITHMETIC STILL DOES NOT CLOSE — which the archive had already noticed and this walk confirms independently. Seventy-four years nine months and seven days before 12 December 1838 lands on 5 March 1764, a year before the written birth of 4 March 1765. The written birth is kept as the better figure and the tension is left standing rather than smoothed. He was head of house 7 in the 1826 census, and the death book's own index calls him «Josephus junior» — father of the elder Maximilianus who died at four in 1817.
