What the archive knows

⭐⭐ A married Defranceschi couple at Pola, 26 July 1891: «Defranceschi Antonius, faber murarius» (mason) «et Aloysia ejus uxor» — his wife. They stand as godparents at the baptism of «Aloysius Antonius» Dinon — named for them — born 5 June 1891 at house 10, Via Campo Marzio, son of «Dinon Osualdus, Petri, e Cavasso nuovo [Udine], aurigae» and «Picoli Catarina, Petri, e Montano»; midwife Amelia Vlanich (Pula births 1887–96, Liber IX, p. 569, entry 548, image 315 of waypoint 9R2Z-3T1, open; doc — read at level 13 on 18 October 2026). This is the first entry in the archive that puts a Defranceschi wife beside a Defranceschi husband at Pola. No age, parents or birthplace is written for either. inf that they are the same two who recur: the godmother «Defranceschi Aloysia» of March 1887 (below), the godfather «Defranceschi Antonius» of April 1887, and the mason «Defranceschi Antonius, faber murarius» who stood godfather in September 1898 — all within a building-trade circle, all at the cathedral, all with the same two forenames. Not merged: the page names no age or kin that would settle it, and it is not the stonecutter of Gračišće (a lapicida, dead by 1898) nor, on the trade, the Ližnjan porter (a bajulus).

No family is drawn for this name, and no record stands behind it. This archive has not placed it in a household and holds no indexed entry for it — the name reached this project through a chart, a narrative source or the family tree, and everything it does hold is below. The Register is where a record would appear if one turned up.
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.

This person has not been written up in an essay yet — most often read straight off a register page that no index anywhere contains. What is known is at the top, and the pages linked above are where the finding sits.

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.
