Three male names come up in my research that are not recorded as being born on Korčula (not registered ''via'' church records of births).  

Three male names come up in my research that are not recorded as being born on Korčula (not registered ''via'' church records of births): Antonio, Matteo and Cosma.  

One being '''Antonio''' Xuvella who is not part of the Žuvela family trees but is mentioned in town documents. The oldest being dated 2nd of February 1642. <ref>Vela Luka od 1490 do 1834 ''by'' Zvonko Maričić (p168). It mentions '''Antun''' (Antonio) who is not part of the Žuvela Korčula born family trees (''or'' any family tree). This could indicate him as a Korčula island '''migrant''' arrival.</ref> Then we have '''Matteo''' Xuvella <ref> according to one of the '''Žuvela''' family tree Antonio '''Jnr''' was '''born 1651''' and is the son of Matteo. '''Matteo''' Xuvella is not part of the Žuvela Korčula family trees as '''being born''' on the island, this may indicate him as a '''migrant''' arrival.</ref> and finally '''Cosma''' Xuvella. <ref>Info obtain via Zvonko Maricich's work. He writes  ''"…. or Ivan Zuvela son of the late Kuzme 22nd of December 1672"''. Referenced from 'Vela Luka od 1490 do 1834' by Zvonko Maričić, page 168.

Ivan (Giovanni) was a witness to a contract being signed and his father was Kuzme (Cosma Xuvella).  '''Cosma''' Xuvella is not part of the Žuvela Korčula family trees as being born on the island, this may indicate him as a migrant arrival.</ref>
