Petrus Matthaeus Zuban, 1888

Born 29 June 1888 at Pola, baptised at the cathedral on 15 July (house 231, Abbazia): the first child, as far as this archive knows, of Emericus Zuban and Leopolda Defranceschi. The entry reads «Zuban Emericus, Matthaei e Pyrrhano, faber ferrarius» and «Defranceschi Leopolda, Antonii e Gallignana»; sponsors «Bursich Matthaeus, caterarius» and «Bacich Joannes»; midwife Morin Gabriela (Pula births 1887–96, Liber IX, p. 143, entry 473, image 86 of waypoint 9R2Z-3T1, open; doc — read at level 13 on 18 October 2026). A margin note in a later hand: «uxorem duxit Polae 23.II.1914 Annam Pecinić» — so he married at Pola on 23 February 1914 (doc for the note; the marriage entry itself is not on a film this archive has reached). His mother is Leopolda, daughter of Antonius the stonecutter of Gračišće (inf for the identification, as there; the entry gives her father only as «Antonii» and her birthplace as Gallignana). The baptism writes his father's trade «faber ferrarius» (smith); the 1888 marriage entry wrote «carpenter» — as read, and not reconciled. Not of the name's surname; kept because his mother is a Defranceschi.
