The Story
…, yr: 1925 , n: IX , place: Crikvenica · Senj · Johannesburg · Brisbane , title: And Ivan went home , text: The third brother did not stay in Germany and did not sail for Australia. Ivan was born at Crikvenica on 25 June 1925, went back to his own coast, worked at Senj and married Hedviga Blažević — whose people were Senj packhorse carriers and tobacco-factory workers, and whose Karlobag ancestry reaches people born about 1690.

The Senj Line
…note: The archive's other half. Ivan Defranceski of Crikvenica married Hedviga Blažević of Senj, and everything on this page stands behind her — a line of Senj carriers, tobacco-factory workers and Karlobag seafaring families that is, in the end, better documented and older than the Defranceschi spine itself. , lead: This archive was built around one surname and kept finding that the surname was the shallower half.

…rything on this page stands behind her — a line of Senj carriers, tobacco-factory workers and Karlobag seafaring families that is, in the end, better documented and older than the Defranceschi spine itself. , lead: This archive was built around one surname and kept finding that the surname was the shallower half. Hedviga Blažević, who married Ivan Defranceski and died at Johannesburg in 2001, came from a Senj family whose registers run back without a break to the middle of the eighteenth century, and whose Karlobag branch reaches people born around 1690. Six photographs of register pages, taken at Senj in 2014 by a researcher the family engaged, and a MyHeritage ancestor chart for one woman, are all it…

…database, last written in November 2021 — two hundred and eighty-four people. This archive had been into it once already, for the photographs: every portrait on the Crikvenica house page comes out of it. What had not been taken out of it is the written half. Most of that is the living, who are omitted here, but under Hedviga Blažević it holds two ancestral lines that appear nowhere else in this project, and one of them is deeper than anything on the Senj side. , blazevic: heading: The Blažević , rows: Anton Blažević , No dates.

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.
