the direct line, argued on the line

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

Born 15 June 1871, baptised 2 July, at house 7 — and an Italian state office rewrote his surname forty-nine years later. Gologorica baptisms, folio 142 (M01069152, the exposure with the pasted slip folded back): «[domus] 7 · VICTOR RICHARDUS die 15. Junii natus», of «Franciscus Defranceschi, possidens» and «Clotilde nata Ortis»; godparents Jodocus and Angelica Baxa. (doc — DAPA ZM34K-214.) The pedigree already had 15 June 1871; the baptism, the house and the godparents are new.* ⭐ AND HIS IS THE ENTRY THE 1920 RULING IS ABOUT. A typewritten slip is pasted across his baptism, and his own entry carries «vide … sub 30 protocoll.» in the margin, pointing at it: > «Giusta lettera del Commissariato Gen. Civ. per la Venezia Giulia dd 10/12 1920 N. 1x-4411/563 la grafia originale del cognome di questo battezzato è “de Franceschi”, ciò che risulta dalla fede di nascita del suo proavo LEONARDO DE FRANCESCHI nato a LUINCIO dd. 23/6 1626.» An Italian office, settling how his surname was to be written, cited a birth certificate of 1626 from Carnia. He was forty-nine and newly an Italian subject. What the act is worth, and the four things it is not — and worklist 179, which now has two addresses: the act itself and the Gorto register at Luincis.
