A different name, a different region, a different decade. 1:1:QJDZ-2W3K is Giuseppe Costante Defranceschi, born 14 July 1856 at Telve, Trento. The dates 1845–1846 were copied on a name match and are withdrawn. Read on FamilySearch, 27 September 2026.
One of two men of this name in the Italian IRO files, with Ida née Revelant beside him. No date. 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)
Born at Castronovo on 10 December 1876 — the town the index reduced to «Italy». Passport 109256, issued Washington 6 January 1922: he sailed from Havre about April 1903, lived at Torrington, Connecticut from 1903, and was naturalised before the Superior Court of Litchfield County at Winsted on 14 February 1911. His father is Francesco DeFranceschi, dead by 1922. Castronovo is not pinned. The record gives no province, and Castronovo di Sicilia and Castronuovo di Sant'Andrea both answer to the name. What is certain is that this is not a Friulian or Istrian household — the first southern Italian family of the surname this archive has documented. United States Passport Applications, the image read on 21 September 2026 — the transcript gives only «Italy»; the plate gives the town. (doc)
This name sits in more than one household. 2 sets of parents survive the date check. The first is drawn. Joining them on a name alone is the mistake this site keeps having to correct.

4 of the 4 relationships drawn above are written in a register this archive has read with its own eyes.
3 households were rejected before this chart was drawn, because the dates do not fit a person of this name: Gio Maria De Franceschi × Lucia Bonassin (1829) · Pietro De Franceschi × Maddalena Francin (1827) · Giacomo de Franceschi × Nicolina Teserati (1778).
Joined on a name alone. One household above could not be date-checked, because this archive holds no year for the person or for the household. Treat that link as a lead.

This archive holds 16 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.

…remainder was announced as 113, and that was wrong too. The join compared the whole set of given names, and the live tree stacks every variant it has ever seen into one string: «Johannes Giovanni Gian Battista de Franceschi» against this archive's «Giovanni Defranceschi» is four names against one, so the top of David's own male line was reported as a stranger — and this page said of him, in as many words, «that is not a namesake to be tested, it is a hole».

The fix is a cross-reference, not a merge. Identity here is by name on purpose, and collapsing Ivan into Giovanni by machine is the join this archive spends its time refusing. Each…

The rest are genuinely untaken, and most are children of Defranceschi daughters who married out — Ruman, Perković, Jelčić, Našković — plus «Mattio Franceschi, 1799 – 20 Dec 1839» and «Giovanni Defranceschi, 1845 – 11 Nov 1846», who are of the name outright. ⚠ The lesson is not that the index is good. It is that this archive kept finding things it already had. The register settles what the index garbles — «Antonii Defranceschi Or Lazarić»…

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.
