the direct line, argued on the line

This chart is the direct line and nothing else. Brothers and sisters are not drawn here: this archive records kin against a NAME rather than against a person, so the family on a name page may belong to several different people of that name. Where it is drawn it is read from the direct line, person by person.

One relationship on this chart was never date-tested. This archive refuses a relative whose years do not fit — more than six out for a child, outside twelve to sixty for a parent. Where one side has no year at all that test cannot run, and the link is drawn on the name. It is shown because most people in the early registers carry no year, and refusing them would empty the chart of the centuries this archive exists to show. It is counted here because a line nothing tested is a weaker claim than a line that passed, and the chart cannot tell them apart.

What the archive knows

Decorated in 1918 — Ritterkreuz, Kriegsdekoration mit Schwert — on the Ordenskanzlei's card index, business number 1732/1918. The card only; the act sits under the Ordenskanzlei files for that year. (doc for the award. A Peter Defranceschi already stands on this roster from the family tree with no dates at all; the two are not joined here, because nothing but a forename connects them.) Catalogued at AT-OeStA/HHStA HA OrdK Kartei 3-168. Public, no permission required. The file itself has not been ordered.
