| | ==THE OLD (stare) XUVELLAs== | | ==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 Nikola Ostojic ''plus'' his original book (for viewing) and three 'Family Trees of the Zuvelas' that were kindly given to me.
| |
| | | | |
| − | '''CONCLUSION'''
| + | Another Zuvela is mentioned within the writings of Zvonko Maričić (p169) which is in 1705, Nikola of the late Jerka Žuvela. |
| − | | |
| − | The Zuvelas came to the Republic of Venice's, Dalmazia Veneta in the 1630s (most likely refugees). 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).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Three male names come up in my research that are '''not recorded''' as being born on Korčula (not registered ''via'' church records of births and written according to historical sources):
| |
| − | * Antonio Xuvella
| |
| − | * Cosma Xuvella
| |
| − | * Matteo Xuvella
| |
| − | | |
| − | Antonio Xuvella (Antun) 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.

| − | ====The Newly Arrived Xuvella's Started Families====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Antonio Xuvella (Antun) was probably the father of the Zuvela family because his generation seems to be older than the others.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | With the current data available, I can confirm that the newcomers Zuvelas had three sons:
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Antonio had a son called '''Jakov''' <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> (Giacobbe).
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Cosma had a son called '''Ivan''' <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> (Giovanni).
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Matteo had a son called '''Antun''' (Antonio) who was born '''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''' (Matteo) born 1670 (Matij married Kata)
| |
| − | * '''Marin''' (Marino) 1675
| |
| − | * '''Ivan''' (Giovanni) 1681
| |
| − | * '''Jaka''' (Jacquilin) 1683
| |
| − | * '''Nikola''' (Nicolo) 1684
| |
| − | Referenced from the Zuvela - Grizun family tree as Antun and Frana who in total had five children.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Another Zuvela is mentioned within the writings of Zvonko Maričić which is in 1705, Nikola of the late Jerka Žuvela. | |
