What Is Left to Read

Until now every sitting at a film viewer began with a search. This page exists so that the next one begins with a list.

Every published person carrying a place is matched to the parish whose register would hold the entry, and the year is tested against that parish's holdings. A person only appears below if the book that should contain them is one this archive can actually open.

One book holds nine direct ancestors

Selce deaths, 1790-1886. Nine people on the direct line died at Selce inside that range — ahnentafel 24, 25, 48, 49, 50, 51, 96, 98, 99. Checked person by person: five of the nine have an image attached, but not one of those images is a death record — they are a marriage and two baptisms in which these people appear as parents. No death entry for any of the nine has been seen. One volume, one sitting, nine confirmations or nine corrections.

One of the nine has now been read, and it went the other way. Ahnentafel 51 is in this book at Die 8ª Maji 1842 — Margareta Jellicich, Uxor Georgii, which is the tree's date to the day. What it contradicts is another register: the 1835 marriage and the 1838 baptism both call her daughter filia Denatorum — both parents dead — seven years early. Question 13b →

And the largest single harvest is Novi Vinodolski. 125 events fall inside its baptism register, which is catalogued from 1650 — a century older than anything this archive currently holds. That is the parish for Klenovica and Povile, where this archive found that house 22 in each is one house holding 67 people.

A second household census, seventy years older — and in Croatian

Grižane, the parish next door to Novi Vinodolski, keeps a Stanje duša of 1738 — images 100–140 of a 579-image film. It is not a table but a list, household by household, with every relationship written out in Croatian.

Matij Blazich · žena njegova Jelena · sin Matij · hći Katarina · sin Ivan · hći Agnia · sin Juraj — his wife, son, daughter. Others are identified purely by relationship: Mikula … Blaškovicha zet, Blašković's son-in-law.

And the by-names are here too, in 1738. Juraj car Vulin, Matij car Jurišin, Lovro car Mikulin — of Vule, of Juraj, of Mikula. That is the system question 5 is about, seventy years earlier and thirty kilometres up the coast from Selce.

Every book, by how much it would give

reach is how many fall inside the film's years; of is how many the archive holds for that parish and event at all. The gap between them is people whose dates fall outside what was filmed.
