Telve

Twenty-two people of the surname in this archive sit at Telve, more than at any Istrian village except Vodnjan. They come out of David's family tree rather than out of a register this archive has read, and **no descent connects them to the Istrian or Carnian families**. Defranceschi is a common Trentino surname formed independently from the same patronymic; that is the working assumption here and it is an assumption, not a finding.

Telve is listed so the twenty-two are visible and counted, not folded into a line they may have nothing to do with.
