Giordana Defranceschi
Giordana Defranceschi, 1937. Vodnjan (Dignano). Every mention of this name in the archive — 1 across 1 page.
Born at Dignano, 16 April 1937, daughter in the Dignano household. IRO «Care and Maintenance» file, Italy (Arolsen 3.2.1.2) — the paperwork of the esodo, the Istrian exodus of 1947. Arolsen Archives online collections, read 21 September 2026 under the -schi spelling, which this archive had not tried until the service came back up. (doc) Restored 22 September 2026. This row briefly printed name and place only, under a test that treats anyone born within living memory with no recorded death as possibly living. David's decision is that the rule is about his relatives, and that a person found in an already-public index keeps the dates that index publishes. This household came out of the Arolsen collections, not the family tree. The decision and its reasoning.

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.
