Four names, normalised

Why one town was three places

Scilla appeared in the export three times — as Scillla with three l's, as Scilla bare, and as Scilla, Reggio Calabria — so the map drew one dot and left two empty places beside it. Soriano Calabro was spelt Sorianno. Both are keystrokes, not claims about the family, so they are normalised when the places are built.

Nothing is edited silently. Every substitution is listed here, and the export itself is untouched.

As the export writes itAs the map needs itWhy
Scillla Scilla Three l's. A slip of the keyboard in the export; the town is Scilla, Reggio Calabria. Left alone it made a second, empty Scilla that the atlas could not place.
Sorianno Calabro Soriano Calabro Two n's. The comune is Soriano Calabro, Vibo Valentia — the Briatico end of the family.
Scilla Scilla, Reggio Calabria A third spelling of the same town, with the province left off. Merged so that one place is one place.
Soriano Calabro Soriano Calabro, Vibo Valentia, Calabria The province added so the gazetteer can find it. There is a Soriano nel Cimino in Lazio and a Soriano in Colombia; without the province and region the map has to guess — and every other Vibo Valentia place in this archive is written «Town, Vibo Valentia, Calabria».

And one coordinate set by hand. Soriano Calabro is not in the estate gazetteer, and asking for “Soriano Calabro, Italy” returns Soriano nel Cimino in Lazio — four hundred kilometres north, a different town with a similar name. The comune in Vibo Valentia is at 38.5969, 16.2304, and that coordinate is recorded in data/gazetteer-local.json with its source, because a dot in the wrong province is worse than no dot.

Every place with a page of its own

One page per place the atlas can put a person in, listing who was born, married or buried there and what the archive read to know it. These were reachable only by clicking a marker on the map, which meant a reader without JavaScript — and a search engine — could not get to any of them.
