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.

…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 interesting part. This archive holds exactly one Giuseppe De Franceschi: 1758 – 14 February 1830, house 324, × Lucia Tromba q.m Cristoforo, dead suddenly and without a priest. He was in his grave three years when this entry was written, which is what «fu» requires. If this Michiela is his daughter, she stands beside Don…

The weaver is «Cristoforo De Franceschi di Giuseppe» in March 1818 and November 1828, and «fu Giuseppe» on 12 February 1833 — so the father of the priest, the ploughman and the weaver died between November 1828 and…

…The same patronymic, in the same hand, in the same book, as «+ Pietro De Franceschi di Giuseppe, agricoltore» and «+ Cristoforo De Franceschi di Giuseppe, tessitore». They are brothers. A priest, a ploughman and a weaver, sons of one Giuseppe De Franceschi of Vodnjan — and the two who worked with their hands could not sign their names while the third was writing in the register.

The weaver was «Cristoforo De Franceschi di Giuseppe» in March 1818 and again in November 1828. Here he is «fu Giuseppe».

…person. The third was reading the years out of the archive's own note fields, and it had to be abandoned. Seventy-four notes contain a year; only five yielded an explicit born or died, and one of those five was wrong — a note reading «Giuseppe De Franceschi q.m Pietro and Lucia De Franceschi q.m Pietro, both dead in 1830» was parsed as Pietro died in 1830. It was his children who died in 1830. He was born around 1730. The reason is structural and worth stating: a note in this archive is about…

…small town at the same time. They are told apart by «di Giuseppe» against «q.m Gio: Maria» — the father's name — and by nothing else. And the difference between di (father living) and q.m / fu (father dead) is itself evidence: it brackets Giuseppe De Franceschi's death to between November 1828 and February 1833, purely from how his sons are written. A formula is not a fact about a person «De Parochi licentia» — by the parish priest's licence — appears against Don Stefano…

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.
