==THE OLD (stare) XUVELLAs==
Based on the records and information which are available to me, I have come to this conclusion written below. My research is largely based on the writings of Zvonko Maričić and Don Ivan Oreb ''plus'' Nikola Ostojic's his original book (for viewing) and four 'Family Trees of the Zuvelas' that were kindly given to me.
'''CONCLUSION'''
The Zuvelas came to the Republic of Venice's, Dalmazia Veneta in the 1630s most likely refugees from Greece (original Zouvello modern Zouvela Greek: Ζουβέλα). They settled in the west end of the island of Korčula (previously ''also know'' as Curzola <ref>Greek: Kórkyra Melaena or Κόρκυρα Μέλαινα, and Corcyra Nigra (Latin)</ref>). Temporary residency was set up in a small field called Rasohatica (previously know ''as'' Rasohatija). After that they moved to Blato (previously also know as Blatta).
'''Antonio Xuvella''' comes up in my research that is '''not recorded''' as being born on Korčula (not registered ''via'' church records of births and written according to historical sources). Antonio is mentioned in the town documents<ref>Vela Luka od 1490 do 1834 ''by'' Zvonko Maričić (p168). It mentions '''Antun''' who is not part of the Zuvela Korčula born family trees (''or'' any family tree). This could indicate him as a Korčula island '''migrant''' arrival.</ref> and his record is the oldest which was in Blato dated 2nd of February 1642.
Antonio Xuvella (Antun) was probably the father of the Zuvela family because his generation seems to be older than the others. I have come to a conclusion based on family naming tradtions his wife may be called Jacquilin, Greek: Zaklín or Ζακλίν (Cro: Jaka). They had five sons (based on Don Ivan Oreb's work and there are no dates of birth):
'''1.''' Matteo (Matij)
'''2.''' Cosma (Kuzma)
'''3.''' Giacobbe (Jakov)
'''4.''' Antonio (Autun)
'''5.''' Nicolo (Nikola)
====The Newly Arrived Xuvella's Started Families====
With the current data available.
'''1.''' Matteo/Matij had a son called '''Antun''' (Antonio) who was born in '''1651''' on Korčula. <ref>According to one of the Zuvela family tree Ante (Antonio) was '''born 1651''' and is the son of Matij. Matij/Matteo Xuvella is not part of the Zuvela Korčula family tree as being born on the island of Korčula.</ref>
Antun (Antonio ''or'' Ante) then married Frana and they had five children (Matteo's grand children):
* Matij born 1670 (Matij married Kata)
* Marin 1675
* Ivan 1681
* Jaka 1683
* Nikola 1684
(Based on Zuvela Grizun and Don Ivan Oreb Zuvel's family trees)
'''2.''' Cosma/Kuzma had a son called Ivan
(Based on Don Ivan Oreb Zuvela family tree and Zvonko Maričić's work <ref>Info obtain ''via'' Zvonko Maričić's work. He writes ''"…. or Ivan [Giovanni] son of the late Kuzma [Cosma] 22nd of December 1672"''. Referenced from 'Vela Luka od 1490 do 1834' by Zvonko Maričić, page 168. According to Zvonko Maričić, Ivan was a witness to a contract being signed in 1672 and '''his father''' was '''Kuzme'''. Kuzma is not part of the Zuvela Korčula family trees as being born on the island, this may indicate him as a migrant arrival.)
'''Please note''': It would seem that the old Xuvellas could read. We are looking at Old Venetian-Italian </ref>)
'''3.''' Giacobbe/Jakov had a son Nikola
(Based on Don Ivan Oreb Zuvela family tree and Zvonko Maričić's work <ref>Info obtain ''via'' Zvonko Maričić's work. He writes ''"…. Jakovu [Giacobbe] Žuveliću of late Antun [Antonio] one small piece of land ..... "''. Referenced from 'Vela Luka od 1490 do 1834' by Zvonko Maričić, page 168.</ref>)
'''4.''' Antonio/Autun had a son Marko
(Based on Don Ivan Oreb Zuvela family tree)
'''5.''' Nicolo/Nikola had a son Jakov
(Based on Don Ivan Oreb Zuvela family tree and Zvonko Maričić's work <ref>Info obtain ''via'' Zvonko Maričić's work. He writes about Nikoli (Nicolo) Žuvela of the late Jakov (Giacobbe) regarding one small piece of land ..... "''. Referenced from 'Vela Luka od 1490 do 1834' by Zvonko Maričić, page 169.</ref>)
There is another mystory Zuvela (Jerko) who is mentioned within the writings of Zvonko Maričić (p169) which is in 1705, Nikola of the late Jerka Žuvela.
