Euphemia de Franceschi (1783)
Euphemia de Franceschi (1783). Svetvinčenat. Every mention of this name in the archive — 1 across 2 pages.
Two Defranceschi at one font, and the clerk says so in a single word. Frame 101 of the Svetvinčenat baptism register, 10 September 1783: «Patrini fuere Antonivs de Franceschi, et Evphemia pariter de Franceschi». Magnified. Pariter means likewise — the priest is saying the second godparent carries the same surname as the first. It is the only entry in this volume where two of the name stand together. (doc.) She is almost certainly Vittorio's wife. The FamilySearch index carries «Maria Matthia De Franceschi, 3 September 1784, parents Victorii De Franceschi & Euphemię» — a Euphemia married into the name, in this parish, in this exact year. If so, this entry is Antonio standing beside his own daughter-in-law. (inf — a forename and a parish, no more. She could equally be a Defranceschi daughter, in which case «pariter» means sister or aunt and not wife.) The two are not merged. See Antonio de Franceschi, witness 1773 and Vittorio de Franceschi, son of Antonio. And two years later the register says outright whose wife she is. Frame 110, 22 August 1785: «Patrini fuere Antonius Radocovich, et Evphemia Vxor Victoris de Franceschi». Magnified. That moves the marriage off the index and onto the page. «Vittorio × Euphemia» had rested on a single FamilySearch index line — the 1784 baptism of Maria Matthia, «parents Victorii De Franceschi & Euphemię». Here the parish clerk writes it himself. (doc.) So the «pariter» entry of 10 September 1783 is Antonio standing at the font beside his own daughter-in-law — the same two people, two years apart, in the same book. (inf, but now a strong one: the alternative requires two Euphemias married into one small parish's one small family.) The caution has not gone away. The same volume carries «Euphemia Vxor Matthei Bullesich» on frame 112, four entries from our own. Euphemia, like Fosca, is a common forename here. Only the full «uxor Victoris de Franceschi» form identifies her. Seven more, in the full form, down to 1791. Reading the volume to its last leaf turned her into the most frequently named woman of this surname in the register:

This archive holds 2 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.

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.
