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

His death entry, read at last — and the row had been carrying the two years with nothing behind them. > Gologorica deaths, image M01069271, page 84: «1848 Aprilis 14° · 5 · Leonardus Defranceschi, CIVIS, refectus SS Sacramentis moribundorum et sepultus die 15° hujus · 82 · febris cum senectute» House 5. Dead 14 April 1848, aged eighty-two, of fever with old age, buried the next day, having received the last rites. Eighty-two in April 1848 closes exactly on the birth this archive already held for him — 30 January 1766. (doc.) ⭐ «CIVIS», where every other adult on the page is «agricola». A burgher, not a farmer — the status this family carries wherever these registers name it, and the reason its sons turn up as students, painters and army doctors while the village around them farms. ⭐ AND THE CHILD WAS NAMED FOR HIM WHILE HE WAS STILL ALIVE. Leonardus Defranceschi was baptised at house 5 on 22 January 1847 — fifteen months before this Leonardus died in the same house. The same name, the same door, two lives overlapping by a little over a year. That child lived to 1917.* ⚠ This row previously had no note at all — the third bare or stale roster row found the same way in one afternoon.
