Where this comes from

6 of the 6 relationships drawn above are written in a register this archive has read with its own eyes.

16 households were rejected before this chart was drawn, because the dates do not fit a person of this name: Valentino Defranceschi × Elena Defranceschi (1757) · Valentini Defranceschi × Ursulæ Defranceschi (1804) · Domenico De Franceschi × Zacchera Cerlon (1833) · Stefano De Franceschi × Bonetta Vellico (1829) · Vittorio Defranceschi × Stella (1819) · Matteo Defranceschi × Francesca (1745) · Vittorio Defranceschi × Dominica (1749) · Antonius Defranceschi, filius Usualdi et Apoloniæ × Francisca née Defranceschi (1845) · Antonius Defranceschi × Francisca Defranceschi (1845) · Aloysius Arturius Defranceschi × Albina Defranceschi (Lovrinović) (1920) · Giovanni Moscarda × Maria Defranceschi (1835–1841) · Antonius Defranceschi × Maria Defranceschi (1823–1823) · Nicolaus Cernobori × Maria Defranceschi (1841–1853) · Joseph Dobrez × Maria Defranceschi (1852–1867) · Laurentius Gorlato × Maria De Franceschi (1857–1864) · Josephus Ruman × Maria Defranceschi (1875–1875).

Joined on a name alone. One household above could not be date-checked, because this archive holds no year for the person or for the household. Treat that link as a lead.

The same name, written another way

This archive holds 17 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.

So Gio. Maria De Franceschi, dead before 1818, is now shown with three children — Pietro, Cristoforo and Veniera — none of whom has a baptism on any film this archive can reach; the register found them by naming their dead father the same way three times across ten years.

Maria De Franceschi fu Pietro e Michiela Zambaletta fu Cristoforo».

…This archive has never had anything on her but a name. She was of a family with a palace on the square, facing the bishop's. And in the De Franceschi archive at Zagreb, folder 6, there is a wedding piece printed at Pola: «Nelle fauste occasioni delle nozze Maria De Franceschi — Luigi Salamon, Pola, 25 ottobre 1897.» The two surnames marry twice, seventy-eight years apart. Salamon is not a rare name in Istria and none of this is proof of anything about Francisca herself. What it does is turn her from…

…«q.m Gio. Maria» — father dead. Two men of the same name in one small town at the same moment, and the register keeps them apart by naming the father every single time. (doc) One caution, marked plainly: the baptism register of 1816 records Gio Maria De Franceschi as a living household head. If Pietro's father Gio. Maria was dead by 1818, then the Gio Maria fathering children in the 1820s is a second man of the name — most likely a grandson. That is an inference and it is not yet proved. (inf) Two…

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.
