Tomas Defranceschi
Tomas Defranceschi. Pomer, Istra. Every mention of this name in the archive — 3 across 5 pages.
Named «def. Tomas De-franceschi cath. agr.» in the «Genitores Sponsae» column of his daughter Maria's marriage at Medulin, 30 July 1874 — dead by that date, Catholic, a farmer. His wife is named in the same row: Magdalena Davić. The first man of the name at Pomer attested from a document rather than from a family tree. On the bride's own line the priest abbreviates him to «q. Tommasi».

…books — which is evidence of very little, because the index demonstrably misses entries the page carries, and this archive's own harvest of it was cut short by a rate limit on exactly the field married-out daughters live in. One of the four names a «Tomas Defranceschi» who appears nowhere else here. ⚠ Why it matters structurally: Ližnjan's books begin in 1815 and the first Defranceschi in them is a twenty-one-year-old marrying in — those volumes cannot say where he came from.

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.
