Euphemia
Euphemia. Svetvinčenat. Every mention of this name in the archive — 25 across 16 pages.
Named in household h110 on the households list, at Svetvinčenat, as the wife of Vittorio de Franceschi, a De Franceschi, and the mother of Maria Matthia de Franceschi. Evidence class: read — from registers this archive has read. No birth, death or occupation is printed for this person, so none is claimed. Not of the name's surname — kept because the person married into it; the household list gives the couple and nothing about their origin. Recorded by forename only — no surname is printed, so this is a name and a role and cannot be told apart from another woman of the same forename by anything on the page.
2 of the 2 relationships drawn above are written in a register this archive has read with its own eyes.
2 households were rejected before this chart was drawn, because the dates do not fit a person of this name: Zuanne De Franceschi × Elena (1863) · Johannes Defranceschi × Johanna Cleva (1863).

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.

…sweep missed the one act that mattered most Svetvinčenat baptisms 1764–1791, frame 106 (4 September 1784) After reading all 127 openings of the volume, this archive was about to state that no baptism of any child of Vittorio and Euphemia appears in it, and that the 1784 index entry must therefore come from some other register. The act is on frame 106 — a frame the sweep had already read and passed over. The index entry's own image ark points straight at it. Magnified, it…

…by frame is evidence. A negative from a volume searched by index is nothing. The Svetvinčenat baptism register 1764–1791 has now been read at every one of its 127 openings. That is what lets this archive say, and mean, that no child of Vittorio and Euphemia was baptised in it — even though an index entry names one in 1784. The index and the volume disagree, and only a complete read makes that disagreement visible rather than invisible. Coverage index-audits-the-read An…

A third household: Anna Euphemia, daughter of Pietro de Franceschi and Giacoma, born 25 July 1738, in no index.

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.
