REWORK FOR NEW DATA_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 (Cro: Žuvela, original Zouvello modern Zouvelos Greek: Ζουβέλος). They settled in the west end of the island of Korčula (previously also know as Curzola [1]). 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[2] 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):


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 1651 on Korčula. [3]

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


2. Cosma (Kuzma) had a son called Ivan [4] (Giovanni).


3. Giacobbe (Jakov) had a son Nikola (Nicolo).


4. Antonio (Autun) had a son Marko (Marco)


5. Nicolo (Nikola) had a son Jakov (Giacobbe)



  • The most extensive migrations to these islands occurred during the Cypriote (1571-1573), Candian (1645-1669), and Morean wars (1684-1699) (between Republic of Venice and the Ottoman Empire).

Venetian language

“ NOTE: It is universally accepted that the Vènet language needs distinct symbols for the sound of the letter S (as s in English sun) and the sound of the letter X (as z in English zone). There are too many words that require this distinction.

For example, rusàre (to rash, to get rashed) and ruxàre (to prowl), sa (if, or short for what) and xa (already), sìxo£a (type of gardening scythe) and xìxo£a (stinging cold, or hard strike), sugàre (to dry up) and xugàre (to play), sarà (closed) and xara (pitcher). However, not everyone adopts the letter X to represent this sound (mostly because it is used for a different sound in other languages: "ks"), and quite a few writers opt to use the letter Z instead. The letter X is anyhow the preferred graphical representation, not only because the letter Z is already used for another sound, and therefore to avoid confusion. But also because this is the letter historically used to represent this sound. Although it was not used all the times (even by the same authors) it has been constantly present for centuries.

It has also been suggested to substitute the letter X with the letter S, when before another consonant. The reason being that it is widely known what to pronounce (X in front of B, D, G, L, M, N, Ñ, R, V; and S in front of C, F, P. T). There are some exception, however: slòsa (transportation vehicle) and xlòso (rotten, broken). For simplicity and clarity, it is recomended to always distinguish between X and S.

The letter X is also used in the diagraph XH (as J in French Jardin ). As with SH, this pronunciation is ONLY present in the ladino-vènet dialect. See the Vèneto Arkìvio for the appropriate graphical representation. For example, xhal (rooster).

Croatian language

“ The grapheme Ž (minuscule: ž) is formed from Latin Z with the addition of caron (Czech: háček). It is used in various contexts, usually denoting the voiced postalveolar fricative, a sound similar to English g in genre, or Portuguese and French j. In the International Phonetic Alphabet this sound is denoted with [ʒ], but the lowercase ž is used in the Americanist phonetic notation, as well as in the Uralic Phonetic Alphabet. In addition, ž is used as the romanisation of Cyrillic ж in ISO 9 and scientific transliteration. ”

Zh=Ž

French j=Ž

  1. ^ Greek: Kórkyra Melaena or Κόρκυρα Μέλαινα, and Corcyra Nigra (Latin)
  2. ^ 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.
  3. ^ 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.
  4. ^ 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.
