No family is drawn for this name. The archive holds 1 household under it, and its dates do not fit this person: Bellinich (1813). A shared forename is not a family.
The same name, written another way

This archive holds 9 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.

Caterina DeFranceschi · Catharina Defranceschi · Catharina Defranceschi (widow of Bakar, d. 1819) · Cattarina De Franceschi · Cattarina De Franceschi (of Paluzza) · Cattarina Defranceschi · Katharina Defranceschi (Dalladia) · Katharina Defranceschi (Dallagiacoma) · Katharina Defranceschi (Delladio)

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.

The second of those has been carried ever since — on the worklist, in the Grach page's timetable and in the line of worklist 218 that sent this session to the baptisms at all. ⚠ The…

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…

Petrus Defranceski, born 1772, died 2 November 1818.

A Catharina Defranceschi died at Bakar on 7 April 1819 aged eighty-five, so born about 1734: thirty-eight at this marriage, and eighty-five at the end of it. If she is the bride, this page is the beginning of a marriage that lasted into the reign of the last Habsburg but one, and…

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.
