Lucia Tromba (De Franceschi)

…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 Stefano the priest, Pietro the ploughman, Cristoforo…

…and a handful of forenames. That is not evidence. The place to settle it is the dispensation files of the Ordinariate of Pola, which this register cites by protocol number and which would state the degree of kinship outright. The Tromba kinship Lucia Tromba is the mother of Don Stefano; Giovanni Tromba is the parson who licensed him. In a town this size that is very likely kin — and it is inferred from a shared surname, which is exactly the reasoning this archive distrusts everywhere else.…

He had been three years in the ground when this entry was written — which is exactly what «fu Giuseppe» means. If she is his, then Michiela is a fifth child of that household, standing…

…strongest inference on this page, and an inference still. Tested, and not settled — with a caution the test itself produced. The marriage register would decide this: a marriage entry names both of the bride's parents, so if Michiela's mother is Lucia Tromba, she is Giuseppe's. The book opens 12 October 1815, and the fourteen De Franceschi marriages already read out of it run 1817 to 1832 — none is hers. Her marriage therefore sits in the register's first fifteen months, or before the book…
