This archive holds 4 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.

…table folds anything it does not recognise — no and open included — down to «family». So conn: no came out as a badge reading «Family», in a column headed «Link to this family», against six people this archive states are not related — Piero della Francesca among them. Two lines above, the page's own dek says a shared patronymic is not a shared ancestor and that saying otherwise is how family myths start. The table had been saying otherwise, in one word, ever since the component was adopted.…
…loud default is the correct answer and «Ungraded» is the right thing for it to say. Three fallbacks of this archive's own were pointing the wrong way. The notables column resolved unknown to «Family» and was publishing it — six unrelated people, Piero della Francesca among them. The destinations ternary resolved anything-not-doc-or-inf to «lore», so a neg would have been badged «Family»: not a mis-grade but the opposite of the finding. The Giornaletto map knew only doc and inf and fell back to «Inferred». And…

…plainly what the old page did not: there is no coat of arms for a surname, and the crest vendors are selling a picture keyed to a text string. Not carried, on purpose — the works list The old People page ran a long catalogue of Piero della Francesca's paintings, museum by museum: Arezzo, Berlin, the Gardner, the Uffizi, Lisbon, the National Gallery, Thyssen-Bornemisza, the Brera, Poldi Pezzoli, Monterchi, the Frick, the Louvre, Perugia, the Tempio Malatestiano, Sansepolcro, Urbino, the Accademia,…
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.
