'''Note''': According to family tradition of the Zuvela's, the family came from [[France]]. This is the only bit of information that has been passed down concerning the Zuvela's family origins. This is a made up story!
By 1853 Nikola Ostojic writes that the Zuvelas had no origin stories/old memories (as he puts it), which means in the mid 1850's it was not know from where they came from. The family had been on Korcula for over around 220 years and by then had lost their orgin history.

===Timeline===
* Xuvella's arrived on the west end of the island of Korcula in the c.late 1620s.
'''Note''': Era of the Black Plague, Ottoman (Turkish) invasions & Uskoci in the Republic of Venice's Dalmatian region.
* First mention in Blato (Blatta) documents in '''1642''', '''Antonio Xuvella'''. He was most likely born around 1610s ''or'' earlier (a Zouvella-Greek ''or'' Greco-Venetian).
The first written source known about Xuvellas is from 1642. So in Blato on 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: Antun Žuvela) without mentioning the family origin, for example; ''son of ......'' . This is the first record ever mentioned of the Zuvela family. This information is taken from 'Vela Luka from 1490 to 1834.' Zvonko Maričić (p. 168).
'''NOTE''': Maričić received this information from: 'Sources for the History of the Island of Korčula' by Ante Kalogjera, Zagreb (1980). The book has many translations of old records of the Venetian Republic in relation to Korčula (from Venetian-Italian to standard Croatian).
'''1.''' Owned property in Rasohatica (formerly known as Rasohatija), prior to 1642.
'''2.''' Owned property in Postražišće, proir to 1642.
Witness for a doc signing in 22/05/1644 Antonio (locally might have been referred to as Autun).
Exchange 211 sheep for a house in Blato (Velikom Ućijaku).
'''3.''' House ownership in the village prior to 18/04/1649, date of exchange.
Had FIVE sons with no date of birth:
Son 1. Matteo/'''Matij''' (b. cia 1620s)
Son 2. Cosma/'''Kuzma'''
Son 3. Giacobbe/'''Jakov'''
Son 4. Antonio/'''Autun'''
Son 5. Nicolo/'''Nikola'''
Antonio passed away by '''1672'''.
First date of birth OF a island Zuvela is '''1651''', a son born to Matteo/'''Matij''' called Autun (jnr). (Antonio Xuvella's grandson)
Antun (Antonio ''or'' Ante jnr) 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
Ante jnr was 19 years old for his first born.

'''N'''ote ''to'' self:
The Antonio Xuvella, the Greco-Venetian, Zouvelos (modern Croatian: Antun Žuvela) is not on any family trees, '''at all'''! Yet he has a strong presence on sources of the island of Korčula (land purchases, witness for a doc signing, wills). The five sons that are on Don Ivo Oreb tree of the Zuvelas have no dates of birth or wives and all had just one son (?) also no dates of birth (?). The first dates and some information of wives appears on the third generation of Zuvelas living on the island. On the the Grizun Zuvela tree there is date of birth of 1651 for Autun (Greco-Venetian grandson).
The sons of Antonio Xuvella were probably not born on the island of Korcula because there is no date of birth ''or'' the documents have been lost, damaged, etc. Their records could have come through the ‘Book of the Dead’ (records of the deceased of the village of Blato).
The birth certificate of Matij born 22/9/1670 mentions his parents Autun Žuvela (b.1651) and Frana who are from Blato and are of Catholic faith and he was christian on the same day. Godparents where Jakov Letis, wife Ivanova and Lucija Žanetić. The registrar was Don Marko Šeparović.
