What the archive knows

«Maria di Batto Defranceschi, 13 Luglio 1716 — c. 26», from the M page of the Svetvinčenat births index, 1709–1764 (film 005497884, index image 205). She is the earliest child of Batta's household this archive holds. Batta — Gio Batta, Giovanni Battista — was known here for Gasparo (10 August 1718), Cattarina (10 February 1728) and Battistina (1731). Maria of 1716 comes two years before Gasparo and pushes the household back. Carta 26 is unopened, and would give the mother — which matters, because carta 66 gives Batta's wife as Anzoletta in 1728 while the families page carries a «1733 Maria, of Giacomo and Anzoletta». Two husbands for one wife's name, and this entry is twelve years earlier than either. (doc for the index line; the register leaf is unread.) Flagged, 21 September 2026: carta 26 has been opened and she is not on it. The leaf runs 18 April to 22 June 1716 and carries no Defranceschi; its verso opens on 18 July. The index's «13 Luglio 1716 — c. 26» has nothing behind it at that carta. She may still be real — a leaf either side would hold mid-July — but she is now unlocated, not confirmed. (inf.)

No family is drawn for this name. The archive holds 9 households under it, and none of their dates do not fit this person: Zuanne De Franceschi × Elena (1859) · Gregorius Defranceski × Maria Vojnić (1875) · Paulus Damiani × Lucia Defranceschi (1855) · Paschalis Zanghirella × Theresia Dominica De Franceschi (1856) · Johannes Defranceschi × Johanna Cleva (1859) · Joannes Sandalj × Lucia Defranceschi (1874) · Gregorii Defranceschi × Mariæ Vojnić (1875) · Josephus Ruman × Maria Defranceschi (1875) · Gio Batta De Franceschi × Maria (1809–1809). A shared forename is not a family.
The same name, written another way

This archive holds 5 other pages 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.

Maria di Giacomo Defranceschi (1728) · Maria di Giacomo Defranceschi (1733) · Maria di Matteo Defranceschi (1745) · Maria di Nardo Defranceschi · Maria di Vittorio Defranceschi (1749)

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.

No prose mention yet

This person has not been written up in an essay yet — most often read straight off a register page that no index anywhere contains. What is known is at the top, and the pages linked above are where the finding sits.

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.
