We can summarise in the village of Blato on the 2nd of February, 1642 on the island of Korčula, part of the Republic of Venice, a contract of land transaction was concluded. The neighboring land mentioned was in Postražišće. This neighboring land belonged to Antonio Xuvella (modern Croatian ''or'' Hrvatski: Antun Žuvela) without mentioning the family origin, for example family lineage ''via'' the father; ''son of .......'' . This is the first record that mentions the Zuvela family.
