Ana Kalanj

Everything this archive holds under this name, gathered from every page of the site.

No family is drawn for this name, and no record stands behind it. This archive has not placed it in a household and holds no indexed entry for it — the name reached this project through a chart, a narrative source or the family tree, and everything it does hold is below. The Register is where a record would appear if one turned up.
Identity here is by name, not by resolved individual. Where two people of one name appear in this archive they share this page, and it is for the reader to keep them apart — the surrounding text usually makes it obvious. Nothing here is new evidence; it is the same evidence, brought together.

The Imotski Franceschi

…: One woman is in the tree twice , text: Josip Bepo is given two wives. Ana Nana Grubišić, born 19 September 1863, died 28 May 1936. And Ana Kalaj-Kucarica ? (Kalanj??), born 1863, died 1936 at Crikvenica. Same birth year, same death year, no children on the second. They are one entry split in two — the Crikvenica Ana Kalanj and the Omiš Ana Grubišić, held apart by a question mark because the compiler suspected they were not the same and joined the families anyway. , lab: The dates make the marriage impossible , text: The Imotski account says Josip Bepo married Ana pl.

The House at Crikvenica

The 1896 death entry for their son Ivan calls her «Anica», the diminutive — the only place in the registers where she is named the way her household would…

…the page at all, is what is underneath. The family's dead were never moved. They are still in that ground. , why: Two reasons to write it down rather than leave it. The first is evidentiary. Ana's stone is the single object at the centre of the oldest open question in this archive — whether Josip's wife was the Ana Kalanj of four Crikvenica baptismal entries or the Ana Grubišić, 19 September 1863 to 28 May 1936, whose name is cut on that stone. The stone is gone. The photograph of it is now the record, and this site holds it. The second is simpler. A family archive that only records what survives is a catalogue, not a memory. This one has already had to write down a house that Josip built and t…

The account of the sale is the family's. , kalanj: heading: The Kalanj of Klenovica , lead: The oldest open question on this archive's log is whose daughter Josip married. Four Crikvenica baptismal entries name Ana Kalanj, and her own baptism survives at Ledenice — 3 January 1864, daughter of Josip Kalanj and Rosalia née Perković, at Rijenovica house 22 in the Vinodol. Against that, the family holds a photograph of a gravestone for an Ana Grubišić. The family has now walked the cemetery at Klenovica, and it is full of Kalanj. , stones: Obitelj Grge Kalanj , Mar…

…tes: gracisce-1863 , ana-kalanj , anton-1890 , flag: The marriage itself has still not been found. And the family's own genealogy file gives Josip a wife Ana Grubišić, 1863–1936, whose gravestone it photographs — a different birth date and a different maiden name from the Ana Kalanj the registers name in all four children's entries. The registers govern here; the stone is an open question worth a letter. , occupation: vešti klesar sada tvorničar — skilled stonemason, later a factory worker , n: 5, name: Anton Rudolf Defranceski , born: 1890, bornExact: 20 January 1890, baptised 9 February , die…

That is the zavičaj, the inherited Austrian commune of legal settlement, and it is the register itself stating that this coastal household's home commune was Gračišće. Fifty-seven years later he is on the Pfullingen list of foreigners, and a certificate of 1950 gives his birth a…

…name and a year are enough to order a certificate, and until today this archive did not have twelve of these names at all. , conflict: heading: And it sharpens the oldest open question on the log , text: The research log has carried a question about Josip's wife: the Crikvenica registers name Ana Kalanj at four baptisms and give her own baptism at Ledenice on 3 January 1864, while the family holds a photograph of a gravestone reading ANA DE. FRANCESCHI for an Ana Grubišić, 19 September 1863 to 28 May 1936. The database shows where the second version comes from and how firmly it is held. , detail: In the file, Anton Rudolf — entered as «Ante de Franceschi», who marrie…

…entered as «Ante de Franceschi», who married Ursula Kovačina and whose children are Pepe, Zdravko, Ivan, Anka and Peter, so certainly the right man — is the son of «Josip Bepo de Franceschi», born 1870, and «Ana Nona-Nana Grubišić», 1863–1936. The registers make his father Josephus, born 22 March 1863, and his mother Ana Kalanj, born 3 January 1864. Two birth years for the father seven years apart, and two maiden names for the mother. , plus: The file also gives Josip more children than the registers have yielded: besides Ante, it lists Sretko, Pauldo, Dragica and three more entered only by surname. The Crikvenica baptisms this archive holds give Anton Rudolf, Marija Stjepanka, Ivan, Zorica…

A dossier is every mention of a name anywhere in this archive's data, gathered automatically and linked back to the page it appears on, with what the archive knows about the person set out at the top. **Identity here is by NAME, not by resolved individual**: where two people share a name they share a dossier, and the archive says so rather than guessing. Rebuilt from the roster, so every person the archive can name has a page — including the ones read straight off a register that no index anywhere contains.
