Joanna Maria Zuban

Born 11 January 1890, baptised at the Pola cathedral on 20 April 1890 (house 246, Abbazia): the second child, as far as this archive knows, of Leopolda Defranceschi and Emericus Zuban. The entry reads «Zuppan Henricus [«Emericus» struck through, «Henricus» written above] Matthaei, faber lignarius, e Pyrrhano» and «Defranceschi Leopolda, Antonii, e Gallignana»; sponsors «Angelovich Joannes, ex-subofficialis marinae» and «Calavar Maria»; midwife Zimprich Maria (Pula births 1887–96, Liber IX, p. 384, entry 261, image 221 of waypoint 9R2Z-3T1, open; doc). A margin note, partly under a stamp: «nupsit Gaspari… Pola… 3.VIII.1914» — she married at Pola on 3 August 1914, the husband's name not read with certainty (doc for the note). The father's forename is the point: the 1888 marriage entry and Petrus Matthaeus's baptism both give «Emericus»; here the scribe wrote «Emericus» and struck it through for «Henricus» — so the scribe was correcting him, and the family's own name for him is not settled (inf). The trade is «faber lignarius» (carpenter), as in the 1888 marriage entry and not as in Petrus's baptism («faber ferrarius»). Not of the name's surname; kept because her mother is a Defranceschi.
