Lina Defranceschi (godmother at Pola, 1898)
Lina Defranceschi (godmother at Pola, 1898). Pola. Every mention of this name in the archive — 7 across 6 pages.
A second woman of the name beside her, at the font, 7 August 1898. «Defranceschi Lina» stands godmother with Salamon Antonius, merchant, at the baptism of Elda Maria Aloisia Salamon at Pola (Pula births 1896–99, image 204, open). doc. No age or parents given. Whether she is a relation of the mother, or a Pola woman of the name, is not known; no «Lina» was looked for in the Gologorica registers for this entry. Not the Torrington Lina (b. 1914).
This archive holds 1 other page 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.

In both cases the family tree was right and this archive was wrong. ⚠ Exactly three rows in this archive carry that «disagree about the DEATH year» note. Two are now closed; the third — Lina Defranceschi, tree 1923 against 1925 — is still open and should be read with the expectation that the tree is right. Fixed: death 1857 → 1878 on the roster row and @I36@, re-declared in data/decisions.json in the same commit. 6 Oct…

Her name is in the Obstetrix column in 1873 and again in 1876 — «Sancta Sestan», delivering the village's children at fifty-four and fifty-seven, including Lambertina Lina Defranceschi's. A woman this archive held at breakfast with an empty note, no husband and no children: ten children of her own, a trade, and a place in every household in the village.

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.
