Vrsar

Francesco De Franceschi and Giacoma baptise a son, Luca, on 11 August 1670. Giacoma is buried in 1683. A Marga «of Francesco» is buried on 19 August 1686. Francesco himself is buried on 26 November 1686.

That is the whole of the name at Vrsar — five entries, three of them burials, inside sixteen years. The parish has four volumes from 1613 and nothing of the family before 1670 or after 1686. A household arrived, was recorded, and ended or moved on.

Orsera is on the coast between Poreč and Rovinj, twelve kilometres from Svetvinčenat, where a De Franceschi household is documented from 1628.
