What the archive knows

⭐ Her row was a name, two years and nothing else. She now has one document, and it is from the last full year of her life. > 9 November 1782, Gologorica marriages: «...coram testibus nimirum Antonio Defranceschi, et Dominico Bachialab ex Novaco, et Margare[t]ha de Franceschi ex hac Parochia» (doc — DAPA ZM34K-214, M01069002, the Gologorica marriage register, opened this week.) She is standing as a named witness at a neighbour's wedding in her own parish, and she is dead within five months. ⚠ This sentence first said «thirty-five», then «fourteen months»; both were arithmetic off a bare tree year, and [the register has since given her an age of 22. ⚠ This sentence first said «fourteen months», which was arithmetic off a bare tree year; her actual date was found hours later and is below.* ⚠ This is the whole of her, and the rest of this row is not evidence. The 1747 and the 1783 came off a family tree and no register in this archive has confirmed either. The entry gives her no age, no house and no father, so it cannot confirm them and does not. ⚠ The identification is inf — she is the only Margarita of the name this archive places at Gologorica in that decade, and the entry says only «ex hac Parochia». ⚠ Nor is it established whether she was born a Defranceschi or married one; the register writes her «de Franceschi» and stops. ⚠ Women witness routinely in this register — the 1774 entries name two among the testes — so nothing is read into her standing there except that she was there. What would settle her: the Gologorica death register for 1783. The book covering 1646–1806 is M01069199–M01069223 on the reel the family holds, and it has never been read. --- # ⭐⭐⭐ THE SAME DAY — HER DEATH, HER FATHER AND HER HOUSE > 20. · Lorenzo Cirich — 1701 · Mattio Muca Possin — 1705 · Margarita figlia q. Sig.ʳ Giuseppe Defranceschi, N.º 36 — 1783 (doc — DAPA ZM34K-214, M01069209: the Gologorica obit calendar, under 20 April.) She died on 22 April 1783 — ⚠ the calendar, copied in 1800, says the 20th; the contemporary register says the 22nd. This row's 1783 came off a family tree; it now has a day, from a register index.

her father«q. Sig.ʳ Giuseppe Defranceschi» — the late Signor Giuseppe, already dead in April 1783. inf: the archive holds a Josephus Defranceschi who died in 1782, styled «Dominus», which fits the «Sig.ʳ» and the «q.»
her houseN.º 36 — the house of Joannes Baptista and Catharina, and of Sancta, the spinster of fifty-eight who died there in 1792
⭐ and she is «figlia»so she was BORN a Defranceschi. This row raised that as an open question this afternoon — «nor is it established whether she was born a Defranceschi or married one» — and the register has answered it.
⚠ AND IT CORRECTS THIS ROW'S OWN ARITHMETIC. Above, this row said she stood witness on 9 November 1782 and was «dead within fourteen months». That was computed from a bare tree year with no month in it. It was five months and eleven days. Published on the corrections page, because a sentence written in the morning and disproved in the afternoon by this archive's own reading is exactly the kind that otherwise stands. ⚠ Still no age on her, so the tree's 1747 is untouched and unconfirmed; the entry gives a father, a house and a day and nothing more. ⭐ And later the same day, a probable mother. A «Signora Ellena, vedova q. Gius.ᵉ Defranceschi, d'anni 84» died at house 36 on 26 August 1804. Margarita is «figlia q. Sig.ʳ Giuseppe Defranceschi» at the same house. inf — on the husband's forename and the door, and nothing else; the entries never name each other. --- # ⭐⭐⭐ 10 October — THE CONTEMPORARY REGISTER, and it corrects this row twice over > «Die 22. Aprilis anno 1783. Margaretta Ancilla annorum 22, mensium 9, filia Josephi et Hellenæ jugalium de Franceschi, provisa Sacramentis omnibus in sua infirmitate a me Parocho; obdormivit in Domino, cujus corpus die 25 ejusdem mensis sepultum est in Arca Parentuum per R.ᵐᵘˢ Archipresbiterum et Parochum CHERBUNÆ D.ⁿᵘˢ Joanes Gràch.» (doc — DAPA ZM34K-214, M01068991, «Liber Mortuorum II», 22 April 1783.)*
died22 April 1783 — not the 20th; the obit calendar, copied in 1800, is two days out
buried25 April, in Arca Parentuum — in her parents' tomb, inside the church
age22 years, 9 months → born about July 1760. ⚠ The tree's 1747 is thirteen years out
mother«filia Josephi et Hellenæ jugalium de Franceschi» — Hellena is now doc, not* inf
buried byJoannes Grach, Archpriest and Parish Priest of KRBUNE
⭐⭐ The man who buried her is the archpriest who married Theresia at Gologorica in 1774 and stood godfather at a Gologorica font in 1785. Three appearances in eleven years, all at Gologorica, all for this family. A neighbouring parish's archpriest does not cross four kilometres three times by accident. ⚠ «Ancilla» is recorded as the register writes it and not interpreted. The word means a maidservant, which sits oddly on a daughter of a «Dominus»; it is capitalised like a name. This archive does not know which it is and has not let either reading into the row. ⚠ And the register does not call her father dead. «filia Josephi et Hellenæ jugalium», no «quondam» — where the 1800 calendar writes «figlia q. Sig.ʳ Giuseppe» and the tree killed him in 1782. ✔✔ RESOLVED 11 Oct 2026 — the register buries him at the end of 1787 and the register was right. ✔ And her house is 36, *from a cancelled duplicate of her entry in the men's sequence — agreeing with the 1800 calendar and with where her mother died in 1804. Three sources, one door. --- ⭐ 11 October 2026 — alive at a font, a year and three weeks before she dies. > 30 Martij 1782, Sabbato Sancto · «Patrini fuerunt Joannes Baptista filius Josephi de Franceschi et Margarita ejusdem filia, ambo ex hac Parochia» (doc — DAPA ZM34K-214, M01068941, «Liber Baptizatorum II», in the hand of Joannes Mathias Franceschi, Canonicus et Parochus.) This row had her death — 22 April 1783, «figlia q. Sig.ʳ Giuseppe Defranceschi, N.º 36» — and nothing from her life. Here she is standing beside her brother, and the entry names their father, which the obit calendar's «q.» could only do for a dead man. ⚠⚠ And the attribution of her father is under more strain. A «Dominus Josephus Defranceschi» stands as godfather on 16 December 1783 (M01068943) — eight months after this row's death entry calls her father «q. Sig.ʳ Giuseppe Defranceschi». The archive also holds a Guiseppe of 1723–1787 who was alive then and would fit the godfather. ⚠ Nothing is changed. The objection was already on the record; this is one more fact pressing on it. Told here. ✔✔ AND THE «jugalium» FLAG IS DISCHARGED — the register was right and the calendar was wrong. This row has carried, since 10 October, a flag that the contemporary entry writes «filia Josephi et Hellenæ jugalium» with no «quondam», against the 1800 calendar's «figlia q. Sig.ʳ Giuseppe». > 36 · «Die 30… anno quo supra [1787] · Obijt Josephus de Franceschj, MERCATOR, ætatis suæ annorum 64» (M01068984) Her father outlived her by four and a half years. The calendar is wrong twice about this woman — two days on her date and a «q.» on her father — and it is a copy made about 1800.

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 one below, not joined to any household. The Register is where an index entry would appear if one turned up.
The same name, written another way

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.

Margherita DeFranceschi

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

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.
