Michiela Zambaletta (De Franceschi)

…De Franceschi e Martina Civico q.m Domenico, Vedovo della q.m Veniera De Rocchi fu Onorato», marries a widow. Because both parties are widowed the clerk writes every name out, and it yields a couple this archive did not have. Martina Civico joins Michiela Zambaletta and Domenica Manzin as the third named wife of that generation. Whether her husband Pietro is the same man as the Pietro q.m Domenico who married Domenica Manzin is left open — this parish has produced four Pietros and two Cristoforos, and only a…

Maria) and Domenica Manzin (wife of the Pietro q.m Domenico whose daughter married in 1823). And it will not be forced into a shape.

…1816–1865; the marriage register — which FamilySearch has never indexed — was read opening by opening and produced the line itself. Five generations, from a Pietro who stands behind a marriage of the 1770s, through Gio. Maria De Franceschi and Michiela Zambaletta, to their children Pietro, Cristoforo and Veniera and their grandchildren married off in the 1820s. A second, separate line runs from a Domenico. At least four De Franceschi women married out of the name before the register opens. And a household of three…
