Back to Carnia
…Two villages a mile apart in one parish, two hundred years apart in the documents, and the same road out of both. What the family did once it was there, from the Istrian encyclopedia Bertoša's entry, written out of Camillo De Franceschi's own researches, gives the Gologorica family a shape this archive had only in pieces. It also settles an argument published on this site this morning. 1661 — and the first man has a name and a trade «La prima menzione del…

Miroslav Bertoša, «De Franceschi», in «Istarska enciklopedija», Leksikografski zavod Miroslav Krleža, Zagreb 2005, in Italian and Croatian in parallel, from istrianet.org. Its stated bibliography: Camillo De Franceschi, «Storia documentata della Contea di Pisino», AMSI 1963, vols 10–12; C. Pagnini, «In morte di Carlo De Franceschi», AMSI 1972–73; M.

…archive marks it as inference: it is the right shape and the right dates, and it is not proved. Gortani also has «un de Franceschi vivente nel 1421» at Luint. So the three charters sit at the end of a chain that runs: Bertoša 2005, citing Camillo De Franceschi, who never published a line on Carnia or on his own family. The citation is therefore in Camillo's working papers, and the Trieste inventory says where. Cartolare 30, «Genealogia e storia», holds his «Regesti di pergamene carniche dell'archivio Magrini di…

…a surname turns up twice in one province. This archive has published both families for months and kept them apart, and now has three independent reasons to go on doing so.

Its evidence is a man of this surname: in 1795 Pietro De Franceschi of Gollogorizza, marrying at Valle, gives only the Croatian name, «perché il nome italiano Moncalvo sembra non esistesse ancora». Camillo De Franceschi — Carlo's son, and the historian of the County of Pisino — is quoted in the same footnote calling Gologorizza «una delle prime località abitate dell'Istria che abbiano avuto nome slavo», one of the first inhabited places in Istria to have borne a Slavic…

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.
