- Josip Geiger — 1911 – 1936, Crikvenica
Anka Nera's first husband, dead at twenty-five in 1936. She was twenty-one. She married again — Branko Oreščanin — and was dead herself at Belgrade eight years later. Nothing else about him is in this archive, and the surname is not a Kvarner one.
This archive holds 1 other page under what Say Your Name reconciles as the same given name in another language — a Latin register, a Venetian clerk, a Croatian village, a Hungarian office. They are not merged and none of them is claimed to be this person: a shared name is not a shared identity, and the archive will not join one to the other by machine. It is here so that a reader looking for a man the records called Josephus can see where they wrote him Josip.

…dying in occupied Belgrade in 1944 is a question, not a fact — and this archive has never asked it. Arolsen, the Belgrade city registry and the Yugoslav victims' census are the places to start. The tree adds two husbands and deepens the question. Josip Geiger, 1911–1936, dead at twenty-five when she was twenty-one; then Branko Oreščanin, whose name she carries.

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.
