Andrea Palin

…— dead of idrotorace, with confession, communion, extreme unction and the indulgence. A seventh woman of the name, and she is not the Michiela already known. The one this archive holds is Michiela De Franceschi fu Pietro, wife of Andrea Palin at house 24, dead before January 1831. This is Michiela De Franceschi fu Giuseppe, wife of Domenico Giachin at house 532, and still alive in 1833 — it is her son who dies, and her husband who is already «del fu». The father's name is the…

…1831, re-read Vodnjan, Liber Defunctorum — DGS 005497894, image 561 Re-read in full because the frame had been half-read. It confirms, independently, what this archive already published from it — «Domenica figlia di Andrea Palin q.m Pio. e della fu Michiela De Franceschi fu Pietro giugali», the sixth Vodnjan woman recovered through a child's death entry. Two details the page did not carry: Domenica was 22, and she died of tisi polmonare — the same pulmonary…

…— so that marriage was made by 1818, not 1822. His father's father was dead by 1830; his mother's father was alive. The house is 456, a third Vodnjan house number after 324 and 325. Entry 4, 6 January 1831, house 24. «Domenica figlia di Andrea Palin q.m Pio. e della fu Michiela De Franceschi fu Pietro giugali» — a sixth woman who left the surname, dead before 1831, recoverable only because her daughter died young enough to need her named. Two rejected. Entry 157 reads «Nicolò Sussani…

…can watch an epidemic take a named child of the family, hour by hour, with the sacrament column recording that nobody got there in time. A sixth woman, found because her daughter died 6 January 1831, house 24. «Domenica figlia di Andrea Palin q.m Pio. e della fu Michiela De Franceschi fu Pietro giugali.» Two deaths in one line, and neither is the subject of the entry. «della fu» buries the mother; «fu Pietro» buries her father. Michiela De Franceschi was dead before January 1831,…

…which 104 cannot be solved here at all. The audit now prints the breakdown, so nobody mistakes it for one backlog. The correction I nearly published Re-reading image 561, this archive's published transcription — «Andrea Palin q.m Pio» — looked wrong. At the zoom where a page can be scanned in one pass it plainly read «q.m Gio.», Giovanni, which is one of the commonest patronymics in the book, where Pio is rare. A correction was drafted. It was checked first, and…

…532. «Giacomo figlio del fu Dom.co Giachin q.m Giacomo e di Michiela De Franceschi fu Giusep. giugali» — a boy dead of idrotorace, with every sacrament. She is not the Michiela this archive already had. That one is fu Pietro, married to Andrea Palin at house 24, and already dead when her own daughter died in January 1831. This one is fu Giuseppe, married to Domenico Giachin, and alive — the two deaths in her line are her husband's and her son's. So the count of De Franceschi women recovered…

…first fifteen months, or before the book begins at all. That is a bounded search and it has not been done. And the search turned up a warning. Vodnjan holds at least three women of this name in these years — Michiela fu Pietro, wife of Andrea Palin; Michiela di Cristoforo q.m Gio: Maria, born about 1800; and Michiela fu Giuseppe, the one in this entry. The name is one of the family's commonest. Everything here rests on the two words «fu Giusep.», and nothing rests on «Michiela» at…
