individual has matriculated, joined, or been named to this group, including one who has joined a monastery, friary, or convent as a member or third order
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.
documented
information found in sepoltuario, tomb inscription, burial, and/or other records
[c] Andrea submitted his 1427 catasto to officials in the Drago district of the San Giovanni quarter. He and his brothers, wife, and children were living in a house on the canto a Rossello, the intersection of today's via Guelfa and via dei Ginori, also known as the canto alla Macina.
