What the archive knows

Named in household h005 on the households list, at Croazia, Austria, as the wife of Gasparo De Franceschi, a De Franceschi, and the mother of Batista De Franceschi; Veneranda De Franceschi; Giacomo De Franceschi. Evidence class: index only — no register has been read. No birth, death or occupation is printed for this person, so none is claimed. Not of the name's surname — kept because the person married into it; the household list gives the couple and nothing about their origin. Recorded by forename only — no surname is printed, so this is a name and a role and cannot be told apart from another woman of the same forename by anything on the page.

No family is drawn for this name. The archive holds 1 household under it, and its dates do not fit this person: Gasparo De Franceschi × Antonia (1692–1706). A shared forename is not a family.
The same name, written another way

This archive holds 3 other pages under what Say Your Name reconciles as the same given name in another language — a Latin register, a Venetian clerk, a Croatian village, a Hungarian office. They are not merged and none of them is claimed to be this person: a shared name is not a shared identity, and the archive will not join one to the other by machine. It is here so that a reader looking for a man the records called Josephus can see where they wrote him Josip.

Antonia di Jacobo Defranceschi (1747) · Antonia di Joannes Baptista Defranceschi (fl. 1743) · Antonia di Vittorio Defranceschi (1745)

Identity here is by name, not by resolved individual. Where two people of one name appear in this archive they share this page, and it is for the reader to keep them apart — the surrounding text usually makes it obvious. Nothing here is new evidence; it is the same evidence, brought together.

A dossier is every mention of a name anywhere in this archive's data, gathered automatically and linked back to the page it appears on, with what the archive knows about the person set out at the top. Identity here is by NAME, not by resolved individual: where two people share a name they share a dossier, and the archive says so rather than guessing. Rebuilt from the roster, so every person the archive can name has a page — including the ones read straight off a register that no index anywhere contains.
