Sancta Defranceschi, 1792 — The Defranceschi Archive

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

An unmarried Defranceschi woman of fifty-eight, and this archive had no row for her at all. > «Joh. Marinich, Canonicus Gallignanensis · [domus] 36 · 26 aprilis [1792] · SANCTA DEFRANCESCHI, CŒLEBS · annorum 58 · febris putrida» (doc — DAPA ZM34K-214, M01069233, pages 11–12 of the Gologorica death register.) Cœlebs — unmarried. Fifty-eight in April 1792 puts her birth about 1734. She died of a putrid fever at house 36, four weeks before Catharina, the young wife of that house. ⚠ Her parents are not established and no family is attached. The book's index files her under «Defranceschi Joseph · N.º 17», but an index is a clerk's filing decision and she died at house 36. A spinster of about 1734 belongs to the generation of Josephus (b. 1722) and Helena — plausibly a sister — and that is a guess, written here as one. ⭐ She was buried by a canon of GALLIGNANA — Gračišće. The second churchman of that parish to stand over this family inside a decade. --- ⭐ 9 October 2026 — a second, independent entry for her, and its value is that it adds NOTHING. > 26. · Santina moglie q. Andrea Gabaro — 1728 · Santina Defranceschi, cœlibe, N.º 36, d'anni 58 — 1792 · Francesco Schina N.º 60, d'anni 63 mesi 3 — 1817 (doc — DAPA ZM34K-214, M01069209: the obit calendar, under 26 April.) Same day, same year, same age, same «cœlebs», same house 36 — every particular of the burial entry already held, from a different book. That is why it is recorded: she is the CONTROL. The calendar was opened today and is being used to date people this archive has only from a family tree — and a finding aid compiled after the fact has to be tested against a case that can be checked before its uncheckable cases are trusted. It passes. [Which is what licenses taking its 1797 for the priest seriously against the register's bracketed [1798]](/person/joannes-mathias-franceschi-gologorica/), and its 1751 for Leonardo.
