What the archive knows

✔✔ ADJUDICATED 11 October 2026 — this row and josephus-defranceschi-1722 are ONE MAN, and that row is the one with his documents. > 36 · «Die 30, hora 4.ᵗᵃ Matutina, anno quo supra [1787] · Obijt Josephus de Franceschj, MERCATOR, ætatis suæ annorum 64» (DAPA ZM34K-214, M01068984.) Aged sixty-four at the end of 1787 is a birth about 1723 and a death in 1787 — this row's figures, to the year. But the man in that entry is the merchant of house 36, husband of Helena and father of five, and every document this archive holds for him sits on the other row. And the year that other row carried — a death in 1782 — does not exist. The whole of 1782 in the male death sequence was read entry by entry: nine men and boys, every one named, not a Defranceschi among them; and the obit calendar never produced him either. > One row had his documents and the wrong years. This one had his years and no documents. Marked sameAs, not merged. It retires nothing, moves no id and keeps both published addresses alive — the mechanism this archive has used thirty times and should not have put to a worklist again.

No family is drawn for this name — this archive has not placed it in a household and holds no indexed entry that names it beside anybody else. A record does stand behind it: the 2 below, not joined to any household. The Register is where an index entry would appear if one turned up.
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 Defranceschi Archive

…Both were right and the obit calendar was wrong; it is a copy made about 1800 and this is the second error found in it about the same woman. ⚠⚠ And it exposes a duplicate. A second, undocumented tree row carries «Guiseppe / Josephus / Josip Defranceschi, 1723–1787» — exactly the register's figures. The archive has very probably hung its findings on the wrong one of two tree rows for one man. No merge is made: ids are frozen, and…

The Gologorica Line

…in favour of the register. The calendar is a copy made about 1800 and this is the second thing it has got wrong about the same woman. ⚠⚠ And the two numbers belong to the archive's OTHER Josephus row. A tree row carries «Guiseppe / Josephus / Josip Defranceschi, 1723–1787, Gologorica» with no note and no document on it. Those are exactly the years this entry gives. So the archive has, in all likelihood, hung a decade of findings on the wrong one…

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.
