How this person is attached

One parent on record here is not a person

Entered as the parentUnknown - Klenovica Ledenice Kalanj

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 35 relatives drawn here, 0 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. 1relative is named in the tree but fall outside the eight surnames and have no page.

Two children here carry one name — Mathias Kalanj, Antonius Kalanj. In these parishes that is usually not an error: a child who died was very often replaced by a later child given the same name, and nine such deaths are implied across these four families by a name used twice. It is also exactly how a records-matcher makes one person out of two, which is why they are kept apart here and the reader is told.

More than one person in this chart carries the same name — Marija Kalanj. That is what the source says. This archive does not merge records on a name, so they are drawn separately even where one duplicated entry is the likelier explanation.

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.

Sources attached in the tree

None. This person carries no source string at all in the tree. They may still be right — but nothing here can be checked without going to the register. Method →

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.
