What the archive knows

Born 1833 at Gallignana — which is Gračišće, the Istrian parish this family comes out of. Three separate naval files, and the rank moves across them: Marinediener 4. Klasse on one, 1. Klasse on the other two, so a career is legible from the catalogue alone. The three files spell his birthplace three different ways — Gallignano, Istrien · Gallignana, Küstenland · Gallignana, Istrien, Illyrien — one man, one village, three clerks. Also VerEv Kdi 219 and VerEv KL-Mardi 76. He is in no Croatian index and Gračišće is not on film; the route to his baptism is a named request to the state archive at Pazin. (doc for birth year, birthplace and rank; unattached to any household here.) Catalogued at AT-OeStA/KA Marine NMA Pers OffBea Akten MGBBl 2651 · ÖStA catalogue. Public, no permission required. The file itself has not been ordered.

No family is drawn for this name, and no record stands behind it. This archive has not placed it in a household and holds no indexed entry for it — the name reached this project through a chart, a narrative source or the family tree, and everything it does hold is below. The Register is where a record would appear if one turned up.
The same name, written another way

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.

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.

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.
