Anna Kalanj (de Franceschi) (1864–1936?)

…below Novi, not at Crikvenica, and the register is the better witness than the summary above it. It is not a quibble about ten kilometres — it decides which parish to search. The family's Kvarner records begin at Klenovica and the bride, Anna Kalanj, was baptised at Ledenice — «entry 2 of 1864, daughter of Josephus Kalanj and Rosalia née Perković, at Rijenovica house 22». Croatian custom marries in the bride's parish, so the marriage this archive is looking for should be sought at Ledenice first…

…Istria for the Kvarner coast: his son is born in 1890 at Klenovica, in the Vinodol — not at Crikvenica, which this page said until 17 September 2026 and which the generation below it contradicts in its own evidence. The family identifies his wife as Anna Kalanj, and her own baptism survives — Ledenice register, entry 2 of 1864, daughter of Josephus Kalanj and Rosalia née Perković, at Klenovica house 22, in the Vinodol valley directly above Crikvenica. That is very probably the reason a Gračišće stonecutter's son…

…four ways between 1861 and 1877 — Klenovica, Rljinovica, Rljenovice, Povile — and the number is 22 every time, with the same parents, Josip Kalanj and Rosalija née Perković. The 1861 entry spells it out: «Ledenice in Klenovica N° 22». Anna Kalanj was born there on 3 January 1864, and her son Anton Rudolf was born there on 20 January 1890. The 1890 remark — «kod roditelja žene Ane» — is naming this household, and the godfather Jakov Kalanj of house 22 belongs to it. Still open: whether…

…years wanted. Ledenice's Vjenčani stops at 1882; Novi Vinodolski's at 1859; Bribir's at 1858; Grižane has no marriage film at all. Only Crikvenica, Vjenčani 1859–1908, covers 1885–1890 and 1908. If the marriage of Josip Defranceschi × Anna Kalanj is on free film anywhere, it is in that one volume — and if it is not in it, the answer is a letter to the parish office at Ledenice or Novi, not another search. The film is open and mapped. 272 images, DGS 2084742; every image's ark captured…

…župnik.» Not one Defranceschi in any of them, in the couple columns or the parents' and witnesses' columns. Why those three years and not others. Anton Rudolf was born at Klenovica on 20 January 1890, so his parents Josip Defranceschi and Anna Kalanj married before that; Ledenice marriages stop in 1882, which leaves Crikvenica as the only Vinodol marriage register on film covering the window. 1887–1889 is the heart of it, and they are not in it. That does not close the question — 1883–1886 and…

…dne 31 prosinca 1886», and so on — so these are whole years, not samples. 1881 and 1882 were read on the way in and are clean too. What that settles. Anton Rudolf was born at Klenovica on 20 January 1890; his parents Josip Defranceschi and Anna Kalanj must therefore have married by 1889. Ledenice marriages stop in 1882. Crikvenica was the one Vinodol marriage register on film that covered the gap, and the seven years that matter are now read and they are not in it. So the marriage is not…

…the parish was marrying the men who built them — with a brewer, a tinsmith, a gendarme, a butcher, an innkeeper and a servant named Prohaska among the witnesses. Which is the whole point of reading it. Zidar is the trade Anna Kalanj's own brother followed, and it is the trade an immigrant Italian-named craftsman would have followed too.

He is not ours, and nothing here suggests he is. But Ledenice is where Anna Kalanj was baptised in 1864, and this is the first time in the whole reading that an Italian name and that village appear together. It is logged for what it is: a fact about the place, not a link. 1873 no. 9, magnified: «Dominus Josephus Pauricchi × Maria…

…the years where each was the form the clerk would have used. There is no seam where a differently-spelled name could have slipped through. What this closes, and what it does not It closes Crikvenica. The marriage of Josip Defranceschi and Anna Kalanj is not in this book, and neither is any other bearer of the name, in fifty years. That is not a sample; it is the whole volume. It does not close the question. Anton Rudolf was born at Klenovica on 20 January 1890, so his parents married by…

Those are Anna Kalanj's parents, from her own Ledenice baptism of 1864 — so this is her brother, and Anton Rudolf's maternal uncle.
