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.

One relationship on this chart was never date-tested. This archive refuses a relative whose years do not fit — more than six out for a child, outside twelve to sixty for a parent. Where one side has no year at all that test cannot run, and the link is drawn on the name. It is shown because most people in the early registers carry no year, and refusing them would empty the chart of the centuries this archive exists to show. It is counted here because a line nothing tested is a weaker claim than a line that passed, and the chart cannot tell them apart.

What the archive knows

⭐⭐ His row was two tree years. He is now a «Signor» with a house, an age to the half-year, and — probably — a second roster row. > 8. · Sig.ʳ Giovanni Pietro Defranceschi, N.º 36, d'anni 86½ — 1781 (doc — DAPA ZM34K-214, M01069216: the Gologorica obit calendar, under 8 September.) Died 8 September 1781, aged eighty-six and a half, which puts his birth about March 1695. This row carries 1695–1781 off a family tree, and the register index agrees with both to within a season.
his style«Sig.ʳ» — Signor
his houseN.º 36 — the senior Defranceschi door, where Margarita, Sancta and Hellena also die
his full name«Giovanni Pietro» — not «Pietro»
⭐⭐ AND THAT FORENAME PAIR JOINS THIS ROW TO ANOTHER. This archive holds a Joannes Petrus Defranceschi of Gologorica who stands godparent at Gračišće in 1744, 1747 and 1750 — and whose row says, in terms: «No parents, age or house are attached to him on any of the three entries.» > Giovanni Pietro is Joannes Petrus. One row has three dated appearances and no dates; the other has dates and no appearances. This entry has both, and the house. ⚠ They are NOT merged. Identity here is by record, and nothing in this entry names the Gračišće godparent. The join is inf and is recorded on both rows so that whoever tests it can see what it rests on: a distinctive double forename, one parish, and an age that brackets all three godparent appearances. --- ⭐⭐ 10 October — the CONTEMPORARY entry, and the tomb is his. > «36. · Die 8 Septembris obijt · Dominus Joannes Petrus Defranceschi annorum 86, mensium 4, provisus in sua infirmitate Sacramentis Pœnitentiæ, Eucharistiæ et Extremæ Unctionis per me Marcum Bancich Parochum hujus Loci; sepultus est 9 in propria Arca ejusdem, per D.ⁿᵘᵐ Carolum Covas, Canonicum» (doc — DAPA ZM34K-214, M01068980, «Liber Mortuorum II», male sequence, 8 September 1781.)* Yesterday this row had him from the obit calendar, which is a copy made in 1800.* Here is the register the copy was made from.

⭐⭐ AND THE TOMB IS THE LINK. Leonardus the weaver, who died in 1773, was buried «in Arca D.ⁿⁱ Petri Defranceschi in hoc Parrochiali Ecclesia existente» — in this man's tomb, eight years before its owner was laid in it. So the Leonardus of house 45 and the Dominus Joannes Petrus of house 36 are one kin group, sharing a grave inside the parish church. ⚠ The register does not say how they were related and this archive does not guess. 86 years 4 months on 8 September 1781 puts his birth about May 1695, and this row's tree year is 1695. ✔ Confirmed, and now from the contemporary book rather than the copy. ⚠ The «86½» of the calendar is two months out — the second measured discrepancy in that copy, after the two days on Margaretta. ⚠ The burying canon is read «Carolum Covas» and the surname is not certain. ⭐ 11 October 2026 — and a 1767 entry that fits, without settling anything. > 11 Martij 1767, Gologorica: «patrini fuerunt D.ⁿᵘˢ Joannes Petrus Defranceschi…» (DAPA ZM34K-214, M01068922.) A man born about March 1695 is seventy-two in March 1767, and «Dominus» is the Latin of this row's «Sig.ʳ». The appearance is recorded on the other row, whose three Gračišće entries of 1744–1750 it extends by seventeen years. ⚠ The two rows are still not joined. This is one more thing that fits, and this village repeats its forenames. Told in full here.
