This is a record, not a family. The index names these people on one page and does not say how they are related — a parent, a spouse and a godparent look identical here. Nothing above has been joined to anything.

The House at Crikvenica
…woman heading her own entry, and the only one of that name in the set. The children baptised at Bakar «Mariam Dorothæam Defranceschi», baptised 6 February 1773, and «Antoniam Defranceschi», baptised 8 January 1776 — both daughters of Joannes Baptista Defranceschi and Catharina. And Nodburga now has a husband This archive has carried «the marriage of Nodburga Defranceschi at Bakar on 27 February 1794» from its own scans for months, with no groom attached. The index gives him:…

The Spine
…register page. What is no longer in doubt is the place: the Klenovica register of 1890 records Gallignana as this family's zavičaj, its inherited commune, four generations downstream. There is now a candidate for him too, and he is not simply Giovanni: the Joannes Baptista Defranceschi who headed casa 31 at Gologorica, husband of Theresia née Grach, whose son of the same name was baptised on 13 August 1787. If that identification holds, the family chart's Giovanni is a Giovanni Battista, and behind him stands the Leonardus who gives the…
…Status Animarum of the parish of Gallignana, house 5. Name, condition, birth, marriage and death in the ruled columns; wife and four sons beneath him. And a candidate for his baptism has now been read off the Gologorica film: a Joannes Baptista Defranceschi baptised at Gologorica, house 31, on 13 August 1787, son of Joannes Baptista and Theresia née Grach — the same name and the same day. It is an inference, not a proof, and it is set out with its objections on the Gologorica line.…
…the Salamon palace is built. Huić places its masonry in the fifteenth century; the Istrian Encyclopedia dates the building to 1570. Which matters, because generation two married one The Status Animarum of Gallignana gives Joannes Baptista Defranceschi of house 5 married in 1819 to Francisca Salomon, born 17 March 1797. This archive has never had anything on her but a name. She was of a family with a palace on the square, facing the bishop's. And in the De Franceschi archive at Zagreb, folder 6, there is…
…shutters, painted ceilings. «This is such an achingly beautiful building and it pains me to see it deteriorate by the day.» It has been empty for decades. Why it is on this page at all Because on 25 November 1819 Joannes Baptista Defranceschi of house 5 married Francisca Salomon, born 17 March 1797 — and this archive has never had anything on her but the name. It cannot prove she was of this house; Salamon is not a rare name in Istria. What it can do is stop treating her as a surname. She came…

Carlo's Letter
…father, my great-great-grandfather, also a Giambattista, son of the late Leonardo, had two sons: Giampietro and Giambattista. Three generations named. And «Giambattista del fu Leonardo» is exactly the phrase the Gologorica register uses in 1769 — «Joannes Baptista Defranceschi filius Leonardi» — the entry that gives the casa-31 branch its byname «detti Leonardi». Anche i miei derivano dalla Carnia, ma si stabilirono in Istria intorno al 1700. Mine too derive from Carnia, but they settled in Istria around…

The Story
…house 5 The farmer of house five Here the line stops being testimony and becomes record. The Status Animarum of Gallignana — the parish's book of souls, bought from the Pazin archive in 2021 — rules a household across a page: Joannes Baptista Defranceschi, agricola, born 13 August 1787, married in 1819, dead on 1 September 1846. His wife Francisca Salomon, born 17 March 1797. Four sons, and the second of them is Antonius. Joan. Bapt. Defranceschi, agricola — n. 13 Aug. 1787, m. 1819, † 1 Sept.…
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.
