Pietro de Franceschi (of Svetvinčenat, fl. 1738)

Named on his daughter's baptism of 27 July 1738 — «a Petro de Franceschi, et Jacoba ejus legitima uxore ambobus ex hac Parochia» — so he and his wife are both of the parish and neither is an incomer. His wife's name is the reason to be careful about this family. Six weeks later, on 7 September 1738, a godmother is entered as «Jacoba uxor Jacobi de Franceschi». Either there are two women called Jacoba married to two men of this surname, or the clerk wrote the wrong husband's forename — pulled, perhaps, by the bride's own name. This archive does not choose between them here. A man with a daughter in 1738 was born about 1710. (inf for the estimate; doc for the appearance.)

Jacoba / Giacoma de Franceschi (fl. 1738–1743) — named with him in their daughter's baptism of 25 July 1738 and standing as «uxor Petri Defranceschi» at two later fonts. She is also the woman a clerk once handed to a Jacobo, which is how this parish's hardest knot began to come apart.
