Recorded a man, under two forms of a woman's name

The tree saysMaria / Marija Kalanj, born May 1870 at Ledenice 74 — sex recorded M, child of Joso Kalanj and Manda Komadina
The record saysAll 108 other people here whose name is a form of Marija are women — the commonest woman's name in this archive

The tree gives the Latin and the Croatian form of the same name for the same person, and both of them are women's. No register has been read for her. The sex field is the only thing in the record that says otherwise, and it stands against a hundred and eight women and not one man. Read it →

The mark describes the person, not the link. Of the 17 relatives drawn here, 0 have a document of their own in this archive — but that is not the same as a document tying them to this person. This archive holds no separate proof for most parent–child links; where it does, the note above this chart says so in words.

More than one person in this chart carries the same name — Anton Kalanj. That is what the source says. This archive does not merge records on a name, so they are drawn separately even where one duplicated entry is the likelier explanation.

Where this sits in the family

Not on the direct line. They are published because they belong to one of the eight surnames this archive follows.

The register spells this surname more than one way, and the search folds the forms together — so Xubrinich and Žubrinić, Joannis and Ivan, find each other.

Sources attached in the tree

None. This person carries no source string at all in the tree. They may still be right — but nothing here can be checked without going to the register. Method →

An online family tree is a witness, not a source. Where a citation points at a parish register or a FamilySearch image, that is the thing worth going to. Sources →

Others of the same name

These parishes repeat their names relentlessly — 94 Marijas and 88 Ivans in this archive alone. These are different people, kept apart on purpose rather than merged into one. Merging on a name is exactly how this tree came to hold a man born after his own granddaughter.
