Catharina Defranceschi (Jablich)
Catharina Defranceschi (Jablich), 1792 · from **documented 6 October 2026** — died **21 May 1792** aged **26**; born about **1766**. Gologorica. Every mention of this name in the archive — 25 across 13 pages.
Wife of Joannes Baptista Defranceschi, and born a Jablich of Buccari — Bakar, on the Kvarner. The Gologorica baptism register enters the couple as godparents on 3 October 1786: «Joh: Bapt. Defranceschi m.p. · Cath. ejus uxor nata Jablich ex Buccari», both Cives Gollogoricenses.
New to this archive in both directions: no Catharina was recorded as the wife of any Joannes Baptista — only two daughters of the name — and Jablich appears nowhere else in this archive. No dates are given for her in this entry. (doc.) Gologorica baptisms 1784–1880, Džavni arhiv u Pazinu microfilm ZM34K-214, image M01069017, entry of 3 October 1786, house 19. Read 30 September 2026.
⭐ 6 October 2026 — AND NOW SHE HAS DATES.
> «Petrus Anicich, P[res]b[yte]r Novacensis · [domus] 36 · 21 maii [1792] · CATHARINA DEFRANCESCHI · annorum 26 · Apoplexia»
(doc — DAPA ZM34K-214, M01069233, pages 11–12 of the Gologorica death register.)
She died on 21 May 1792, aged twenty-six, of apoplexy. Born about 1766 — so she was twenty when she stood at that font in 1786 and twenty-six when she was carried out of house 36.
⚠ Ten months before her, the same house buried her daughter. «MARIA ANTONIA DEFRANCESCHI · mens[ium] 6 · Vermes», 16 July 1791. Her husband Joannes Baptista did not remarry: he died a widower in January 1813, twenty-one years later. The sequence is told here.
She was buried by Petrus Anicich, priest of Novaki — the same man who signs this parish's visitation as DEAN in 1808.

⭐⭐ 9 October 2026 — her marriage is NOT at Gologorica, and the entry that is probably hers has been in this archive for a week.
The Gologorica marriage register 1770–1789 was opened and walked this week looking for exactly this. She is not in it — M01068999, M01069002–M01069005, covering 1779–1788, and the unread frames are 1770–79 and 1788–89, when she is a child or long married.
⭐ A bride marries in her own parish, and hers is Bakar. The Bakar household page, published from the FamilySearch indexes, carries: «A separate entry has a «Joannem Defranceschi» marrying «Catharinam SABLICH» — either the same man remarried, or a brother.»
«Sablich» · «Jablich». One letter, filed on another page as a Bakar puzzle. And the age arithmetic clears it: that page's Catharina was born 1734 with children baptised 1773 and 1776; this one was seven in 1773.
⚠ Nothing is joined. The index writes «Joannem» where the line above writes «Joanem Bap.»; no date is quoted for the Sablich entry; no register has been read. The test is one film, already waypointed: Bakar marriages 1739–1857, 9R28-82Z. Worklist 166.

# ⭐⭐⭐ SHE HAS A WEDDING — 10 November 1783, at Bakar, in her father's house
> «Die 10 9bris pro domo D. Sebastiani Sablich, Nuptiis in facie Ecclesiæ contractis inter D.ⁿᵘᵐ Joannem Bap.[tistam] [De]franceschi ex GOLLOGORIZZA et D. Catharinam Sablich, tradidit D. Parochus Buccarensis Jacobus Polian, præsentibus Senatore D. Josepho Walis et D. Josepho Smich»

Born about 1766, she is seventeen. Her first known child died at eleven days in March 1786, twenty-eight months later.

This archive holds 10 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.

Three more had the wife standing in the father's slot — «Andrina Defranceschi × Guglielmo Defranceschi», «Andrina Defranceschi × Gulielmus Lazzer», «Catharina Defranceschi × Josephus Jelčić» — so a woman was listed as the father of her own children, and the household read as male-line for that reason alone. The classification is no longer a matter of which sweep found the record. A household is a daughter's household…
The House at Crikvenica
…and «Joannem Verks». A name this project has never seen, and the first Bakar in-law it has. The deaths Antonia, 9 March 1775. Maria Anna Defranceschi, 26 May 1785. Petrus Defranceski, born 1772, died 2 November 1818. And Catharina Defranceschi, born 1734, dead 7 April 1819 at eighty-five — old enough to be the Catharina of the marriages, and she outlived nearly everyone here.

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.
