Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik is the largest thing in this archive's index that has never had a page. Resolved through the films their images sit on, fifty-six records of the name belong to the city parish and to Pile outside the western gate — against the twenty-two and sixteen the parish table has carried. Not one of them says «Dubrovnik» in its place field.

The household that can be followed is a Marietta Defranceschi, daughter of a Pietro Defranceschi, who marries Matteo Persich — later written Peršić — and whose children are baptised in the city: Cattarina Teresa Vittoria Maria in 1863 and Giustino Antonio Alberto Lucciano in 1871. An Antonio Persich marries a Maria Defranceschi in 1853. The 1829 entry that names Pietro is a marriage, forty-two years before the last of the children, so more than one generation of Persich is in these rows and this page will not pretend to sort them yet.

Nothing joins any of it to the Venetian line at Zadar, Omiš and Imotski, or to Istria. Ragusa was a separate republic with its own patriciate and its own trade, and a Franceschi there needs its own argument, not an inherited one.
