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.

* 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 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).

'''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.
