- Matteo Persich — about 1836, Dubrovnik
Named as father on 2 baptisms in the FamilySearch index, 1863–1871. Spouse: Marietta Defranceschi. Index only — no register read. Placed at Dubrovnik on 13 September 2026 — not from any place text in the index, which gives none, but from the parish whose register book the children's images are bound into.
Drawn from the one indexed entry that names this person, not from a household this archive has built. The entry names these people together; it does not prove the relationship it implies.

This person has no recorded year. The archive estimates a birth about 1836 — somewhere between 1825 and 1845, estimated from a household beginning in 1863 — **not a recorded year**. The households above were tested against that estimate rather than a date, on a deliberately loose window. That is a sanity check, not a verification — it can throw out an absurdity, and it cannot confirm a link.

…into one household across forty-two years. The 1829 row is a marriage, not a birth: four parent names is the signature of the Austrian tabular register, whose columns run SPONSI, SPONSAE, GENITORES SPONSI, GENITORES SPONSAE. Read that way it says Matteo Persich, born 1829, son of Antonio Persich and Teresa Martecchini, marrying a daughter of Pietro Defranceschi — and the other three records are that couple's children, baptised at Dubrovnik in 1853, 1863 and 1871.

…western gate — against the twenty-two and sixteen the parish table has carried. Not one of them says «Dubrovnik» in its place field. The household that can be followed is a Marietta Defranceschi, daughter of a Pietro Defranceschi, who marries Matteo Persich — later written Peršić — and whose children are baptised in the city: Cattarina Teresa Vittoria Maria in 1863 and Giustino Antonio Alberto Lucciano in 1871. An Antonio Persich marries a Maria Defranceschi in 1853. The 1829 entry that names…
…the western gate carry more of the name than any Dalmatian place but Omiš, and not one of those records writes «Dubrovnik» in its place field — they were found through the films their images sit on. A Marietta Defranceschi, daughter of a Pietro, marries a Matteo Persich and baptises children in the city in 1863 and 1871. Ragusa was a separate republic with its own patriciate; nothing joins this to the Venetian line at Zadar and Omiš, and it will not be joined on the strength of a shared surname. The daughters'…

…and the records of the Republic to 1808 Ragusa was its own republic until 1808, with its own archive, and this project has never asked it a single question. It now has a reason to. Four indexed records resolve into one household: Matteo Persich, born 1829, son of Antonio Persich and Teresa Martecchini, married Marietta (Maria) Defranceschi, daughter of Pietro Defranceschi, and their children were baptised at Dubrovnik in 1853, 1863 and 1871. Marietta is the only Defranceschi here…
…Her father is a name on one flattened index row and nothing else. Who he was, when he came, and whether he was one of a family or alone in the city, is completely unknown. Three things, in order of usefulness:· The marriage entry of Matteo Persich and Marietta / Maria Defranceschi, probably between 1848 and 1853. A marriage entry names both sets of parents and usually the bride's age and birthplace.· Any baptism or death entry for a Pietro Defranceschi at Dubrovnik in the first half of the…
…all in the city's registers or in the Republic's own records before 1808. Poštovani, istražujem obitelj Defranceschi / De Franceschi i u indeksima sam pronašao skupinu upisa iz Dubrovnika koji se čini da pripadaju jednoj obitelji:· Matteo Persich, rođen 1829., sin Antonija Persicha i Terese Martecchini;· njegova supruga Marietta (Maria) Defranceschi, kći Pietra Defranceschija;· djeca krštena u Dubrovniku 1853., 1863. i 1871.

…nije kod nas.» The State Archive has handed over ALL the parish registers to the Diocesan Ordinariate at Dubrovnik, and refers the enquiry to arhiv@db.hr, telephone 020 324 913. None of the three questions is answered. The marriage of Matteo Persich and Marietta Defranceschi, the identity of her father Pietro, and whether the surname appears in the Republic's own records before 1808 are all exactly where they were — but the door has moved, and this is the kind of fact that costs somebody else a…

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.
