Citizens of Florence could claim membership in a gonfalone other than where they lived for purposes of taxation and political sortition, usually that of their father or other ancestor and related to where the family traditionally held its highest-value properties. The 1427 catasto contains numerous examples of a declared residence (casa per abitazione) in a parish not physically located in the gonfalone from which the tax declaration was made. Residence is "surmised" when extrapolated from political service or tax records that do not indicate the parish of residence and "documented" when the physical location of a house is known.

[a] Francesco gave his age as 35 in his 1427 catasto declaration, which would render a birth year of 1392. In 1429 he provided the date September 2nd, 1389 to tratte officials.
[b] Francesco di Bernardo was registered as dead when drawn for the Twelve for the S. Croce quarter on March 12th, 1452.
[c] If Francesco di Bindo Galluzzi is the same person as Francesco di Bernardo Galluzzi, then the latter held this office in 1432.
[d] Francesco and his brother Giovanni were living in Borgo Allegri in the parish of Sant'Ambrogio at the time of their 1427 catasto declaration.
