Recorded a woman, under a Latin man's name

The tree saysPetrus Kalanj, born 19 January 1861 at Klenovica 22 — sex recorded F, son or daughter of Petrus Kalanj and Magdalena Butković
The record saysPetrus is a Latin nominative, and all 17 other people in this archive whose name is a form of Petar are men

A nominative admits no second reading. It is not an oblique ending that might have been cut off a woman's name — it is the name itself, as the priest would have written it standing alone, and his own father is entered under the same word. Nothing external has been read for him, so the archive says only that the two fields cannot both stand, and leaves the tree as it is. Read it →

The mark describes the person, not the link. Of the 11 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 — Mathias Kalanj, Antonius 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.
