How this person is attached

One parent on record here is not a person

Entered as the parentUnknown Illigitimate Father ?

That is a sorting label — a note somebody typed into the parent's slot while working through records. No priest wrote it and nobody was called it. The other parent is a real record. This is not a claim that the person is invented; the register entries behind them are real. It is a statement about the join. Why this matters →

The mark describes the person, not the link. Of the 10 relatives drawn here, 1 have a document of their own in this archive — but that is not the same as a document tying them to this person. This archive holds no separate proof for most parent–child links; where it does, the note above this chart says so in words.

Where this comes from

everything here comes from the family tree, and is unverified.

Where this sits in the family

Not on the direct line. They are published because they belong to one of the eight surnames this archive follows.

The register spells this surname more than one way, and the search folds the forms together — so Xubrinich and Žubrinić, Joannis and Ivan, find each other.

An online family tree is a witness, not a source. Where a citation points at a parish register or a FamilySearch image, that is the thing worth going to. Sources →

Others of the same name

These parishes repeat their names relentlessly — 94 Marijas and 88 Ivans in this archive alone. These are different people, kept apart on purpose rather than merged into one. Merging on a name is exactly how this tree came to hold a man born after his own granddaughter.
