…baptismal register, quoted verbatim in 1815 by the man who held it — and the register itself is the book this archive has been trying to get at for two days. A page of it has now come to us, inside a civil file, because the state demanded paperwork. Pietro De Franceschi of Mione is therefore documentary, at one remove: a certified extract rather than the original leaf.

…for what «Erman De Franceschi» means — the reading that Erman is a by-name on a De Franceschi is the plainest one, but one signature is not a genealogy The first of the nine Mione death registers read end to end. It was opened looking for a Pietro De Franceschi old enough to be the Pietro named in the 1792 baptismal extract. He is not in it. What is in it is four deaths of the surname in a single year in a village of a few hundred people, a De Franceschi in minor orders, and a signature that undoes a…

…— which is exactly why a single De Franceschi in an Istrian register proves nothing on its own, and why this archive keeps refusing to bridge Mione and Gologorica on a surname. And the one thing it was opened for is not there No Pietro De Franceschi died at Mione in 1810. The 1792 baptismal extract names Felice Santo's grandfather as «Pauli filii Petri De Franceschi mionensis», and a Pietro of that generation should be dying somewhere between 1806 and 1815. Eight death volumes remain,…

…allegati behind it carry whatever had to be fetched from wherever either of them came from — a baptismal extract copied from a parish register, a consent notarised in another department, a letter from another civil office. One of them gave this archive Pietro De Franceschi, a whole generation out of nothing. This one shows that the same series can hold Istrian documents. Mione has thirteen volumes of allegati and not one has been read. They are now the highest-value shelf in the archive, and…

The roster's own note answers it: «Identity here is by record, not by resolved individual — two entries may be one person». A row is a record, not a human.

…collision, not a bad year — 59 of 121 candidates failed this and were left alone. The year must fall inside the childbearing span. Place agreement is not enough on its own, because Vodnjan recycles the same six Christian names across generations: a Pietro De Franceschi b. 1858 sits at the same place as a Pietro whose household ran 1816–1824, and he is a grandson, not a bad date. Eighteen were skipped on this test, all but three of them at Vodnjan. Ten survived both. The rule is now narrow enough to state: a person…
