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.

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).
