A record naming one person two ways joins those spellings for that person. We build the wider family connection by following the people, households and generations between the records.

The inscription names one benefactor in Latin and Greek. The supplied inscription study reports both readings on the same stone: a person-specific bridge between Cocchini and Kokkini.

Family narratives and register indexes use these names around the La Fontaine household. Matching spouse, place, period and children support a working identity comparison. Coccinou occurs in the next generation; it is not another name for the mother. Original marriage and baptism entries are the next step.
