📌 What This Record Confirms

1. Thomas Pogorelcnik was born in Solčava #67 on 12 Dec 1892, baptized the same day.

2. Parents were Franc Pogorelcnik (Škresnik) and Barbara Plesnik (Ručaljnica/Piskernik).

3. This is the same couple who later had your great-grandmother Neža (Agnes) Pogorelcnik in 1897.

   • This shows they had multiple children recorded in the same parish.

4. House numbers and house names are consistent identifiers — Franc tied to Škresnik and Barbara tied to Plesnik / Ručaljnica / Piskernik.

✅ This entry is a sibling record to Agnes/Neža’s baptism.
For your Slovenian citizenship application, you mainly need Agnes’s record, but these sibling entries strengthen your family history by confirming the same parental couple over multiple years.

🔑 Key Observations

1. Same Parents: Both Thomas (1892) and Neža/Agnes (1897) are children of Franc Pogorelcnik (Škresnik) and Barbara Plesnik (Ručaljnica/Piskernik).

2. House Numbers: Thomas was born in house #67, Neža in house #65 — this may reflect moving households or a renumbering in Solčava.

3. House/Family Names:

   • Franc consistently linked with Škresnik.

   • Barbara linked with Plesnik (legal surname), but house names Ručaljnica and Piskernik appear in different contexts.

   • This shows how flexible naming conventions were in Solčava.

4. Godparents show kinship links:

   • Thomas’s sponsors include Barbara’s mother (Helena Šoštar).

   • Agnes’s sponsor is a Klemenc from the same Škresnik household, tying Pogorelcnik and Klemenc families.

📌 Why This Matters for You

• These two records together prove continuity of the same family line over several years.

• They strengthen your case when explaining name variations (Plesnik vs. Piskernik).

• They also help trace household location (65 and 67) in Solčava, which could still exist or be identifiable on maps and land registries.
