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.

The one this archive holds is Michiela De Franceschi fu Pietro, wife of Andrea Palin at house 24, dead before January 1831. This is Michiela De Franceschi fu Giuseppe, wife of Domenico Giachin 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…

…Liber Defunctorum — DGS 005497894, image 561 Re-read in full because the frame had been half-read. It confirms, independently, what this archive already published from it — «Domenica figlia di Andrea Palin q.m Pio. e della fu Michiela De Franceschi fu Pietro giugali», the sixth Vodnjan woman recovered through a child's death entry. Two details the page did not carry: Domenica was 22, and she died of tisi polmonare — the same pulmonary consumption that took Maddalena Francin at house…

…With the film shut, the 1,508-row catch harvested the day before was read for parent-pairs instead. It gave four households the archive did not have — Sebastiano Giachin × Domenica De Franceschi (1817–1832), Giuseppe Forlani × Lucia Michiela De Franceschi (1848–1857), Stefano De Franceschi × Maria Forlanichio (1858–1860) and Domenico De Franceschi × Mattea Delcarro (1858–1865) — plus two children for households already standing: Teresa Domenica, 1820, to Pietro and Maria Malusà, and Lucia,…

…by 1818, not 1822. His father's father was dead by 1830; his mother's father was alive. The house is 456, a third Vodnjan house number after 324 and 325. Entry 4, 6 January 1831, house 24. «Domenica figlia di Andrea Palin q.m Pio. e della fu Michiela De Franceschi fu Pietro giugali» — a sixth woman who left the surname, dead before 1831, recoverable only because her daughter died young enough to need her named. Two rejected. Entry 157 reads «Nicolò Sussani q.m Francesco» and entry 16 «Antonia Palin…

Corrections

…households with the parents the wrong way round serious /households/· /people/ Twenty-four of this archive's 112 households named a De Franceschi woman as the father and her husband as the mother. «father: Michiela De Franceschi· mother: Domenico Giachin». Forty people's roster entries said things like «Domenico Giachin — named as mother on 2 baptisms». Every one is inverted. The women are the mothers; the men are the fathers. All 24 are De Franceschi…

…tracking. The whole Vodnjan argument is that «the surname keeps its sons and loses its daughters»; twenty-four married-out daughters were in the data and the data had them down as men. Found while testing something else entirely — chasing whether one Michiela De Franceschi fu Giuseppe was a daughter of the Giuseppe this archive already documents. The check that found it is now in scripts/audit.py and runs on every publish: a female given name in the father field. It would have caught this the day it was…

Fiume 1626

…— Don Stefano De Franceschi, by licence of the parish priest. A priest of this surname was serving at Vodnjan in 1816, and he is not baptising only his own kin: on the facing page, on 1 January 1817, he baptises a Mescheni child whose mother is Michiela De Franceschi di Giovanni. A priest of the name, and at least five lay households of it, in one small Istrian town. This archive has never had that anywhere except Gologorica. The five households, now anchored Indexed, and now known to…

…1831, house 24. «Domenica figlia di Andrea Palin q.m Pio. e della fu Michiela De Franceschi fu Pietro giugali.» Two deaths in one line, and neither is the subject of the entry. «della fu» buries the mother; «fu Pietro» buries her father. Michiela De Franceschi was dead before January 1831, and this archive would never have learned her name if her daughter had lived. That is now the sixth Vodnjan woman recovered this way — the surname keeps its sons and loses its daughters, and the only reliable way back…

…at a time: the surname keeps its sons and loses its daughters, and the only way back is a record that had to name the mother. The difference is that these rows were already harvested and have been sitting here unopened. When a question about one Michiela De Franceschi fu Giuseppe was asked on 13 September 2026, the answer turned out to be nine such rows nobody had looked at. The number is smaller than it first looked, and the reason is worth stating. A wider sweep returned 425 rows — but 60 of those write…

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.
