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

Desert Memorial Park His passport application is read, 21 September 2026. Number 122462, [Form for Native Citizen], issued Washington 1 March 1922: «I was born at Washington, D.C. on or about the 15 day of June 1912; my father Louis De Franceski was born in Italy and is now residing at Washington D.C.», with the surname corrected in the margin to «—Franceschi». The identifying witness is Maggie Collins Alt of 28 Aron Place, Brooklyn, who had known him eighteen years. Two things to hold lightly. The application says 1912 and this row carries 1911 — a year apart, and neither has been checked against a birth record. And the identification of this Tobias with the Tobias buried in California rests on an uncommon forename and a surname, not on a document that joins them. (doc for the application; inf for both identifications.)
