A made family chart, not a register.
6 of the 6 relationships drawn above are written in a register this archive has read with its own eyes.
6 households were rejected before this chart was drawn, because the dates do not fit a person of this name: Valentino Defranceschi × Elena Defranceschi (1753) · Antonio De Franceschi × Maria Bergamo (1839) · Giacomo de Franceschi × Anzola (1737) · Antonio De Franceschi × Maria Bergamo (1825–1845) · Antonio Defranceschi × Elena Defranceschi (1830–1830) · Antonio Defranceschi × Maria Schifich (1844–1848).

This archive holds 8 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.

…as though she were a person because the field held a name. Marta exists in the record of the United States as an address in Istria, and nothing else. And after 1930 he is not there at all The 1930 census is the last time Antonio Defranceschi, born 1887, appears in any American source this sweep can find. There is no 1940 census entry for him. He never completed naturalisation — the 1930 sheet gives him «Pa», first papers only, ten years and two crossings in. There is no United States…

…first gives no father's name at all, only «Dni» — the honorific. That narrows it: in this parish and these years the men entered Dominus are the civiles, and the archive knows two — Josephus Defranceschi of house 17/104 and Pietro Antonio Defranceschi, who stood godfather at Clementina Maria's baptism in 1822 as a «Civis Gollogoricensis». Josephus had no daughter Elisabianna, so if she is anyone's she is more likely Pietro Antonio's — and that is a guess, which is why it is written here as a…

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.
