Two Defranceschi at one font, and the clerk says so in a single word. Frame 101 of the Svetvinčenat baptism register,
10 September 1783:
«Patrini fuere Antonivs de Franceschi, et Evphemia pariter de Franceschi». Magnified.
Pariter means
likewise — the priest is saying the second godparent carries the
same surname as the first. It is the only entry in this volume where two of the name stand together.
(doc.)
She is almost certainly Vittorio's wife. The FamilySearch index carries
«Maria Matthia De Franceschi, 3 September 1784, parents Victorii De Franceschi & Euphemię» — a Euphemia married into the name, in this parish, in this exact year. If so, this entry is
Antonio standing beside his own daughter-in-law.
(inf — a forename and a parish, no more. She could equally be a Defranceschi daughter, in which case «pariter» means sister or aunt and not wife.) The two are not merged.
See
Antonio de Franceschi, witness 1773 and
Vittorio de Franceschi, son of Antonio.
And two years later the register says outright whose wife she is. Frame 110,
22 August 1785:
«Patrini fuere Antonius Radocovich, et Evphemia Vxor Victoris de Franceschi». Magnified.
That moves the marriage off the index and onto the page. «Vittorio × Euphemia» had rested on a single FamilySearch
index line — the 1784 baptism of Maria Matthia,
«parents Victorii De Franceschi & Euphemię».
Here the parish clerk writes it himself. (doc.)
So the
«pariter» entry of 10 September 1783 is
Antonio standing at the font beside his own daughter-in-law — the same two people, two years apart, in the same book.
(inf, but now a strong one: the alternative requires two Euphemias married into one small parish's one small family.)
The caution has not gone away. The same volume carries
«Euphemia Vxor Matthei Bullesich» on frame 112, four entries from our own.
Euphemia, like Fosca, is a common forename here. Only the full
«uxor Victoris de Franceschi» form identifies her.
Seven more, in the full form, down to 1791. Reading the volume to its last leaf turned her into the most frequently named woman of this surname in the register:
Every one of them names her husband in full. That is what makes them safe: the same volume carries a second Euphemia —
«Euphemia uxor Matthei Bullesich» — and the full form is the only thing that separates them.
(doc.)
The 15 January 1791 entry is
the family's last appearance in this volume, whose register closes on 28 May 1791.
---
28 September 2026 — the marriage act has now been read, and it fits.
13 March 1783, frame 93: «Vittorio figlio di Capo Antonio de Franceschi contrasse li primi sponsali con Eufemia figlia di Mattio Bergamo» —
six months before this baptism. (doc.)
That is the strongest form the identification has taken. When this page was written, «Euphemia, wife of Vittorio» rested on a FamilySearch index line; then the 1785 font called her «Vxor Victoris» outright; now a marriage act dates the union and names her father. It also explains the «pariter» —
she is a de Franceschi by marriage, not by birth, which is exactly what a clerk means by «likewise» when a wife stands beside her father-in-law.
See Eufemia Bergamo —
the page the family tree already carried for her, empty until today. The two are cross-linked and not merged. (inf, and now a strong one.)
