Extinction and transfer of Albanian families.

In 1735 the Albanians of Borgo Erizzo begged the Superintendent Grimani for the concession of approximately 80 fields, which had been made available to the public due to the extinction or transfer of some Albanian families to another part of the Venetian state. The names of these families are:

1. Giovanni Nica (Gjon Nika)
2. Giovanni Prenci (Gjon Prenci)
3. Nica Giovi (Nika Gjovi)
4. Frane Popov (Frenë Popovi)
5. Nico Boxov (Nikä Boqovi).
6. Rade Vukov (Radë Vuka)
7. Gica Ginkin (Gicë Gjiki)
8. Marco Giocca (Mark Gjoka)

“If we compare these family names with those of the lists published above, we find that the first three families had come in 1727 and had been domiciled in Zemonico; the fourth arrived in 1733, since Popov and Popovich are simply two different ways of writing the same name; the 5th and 7th are not found in the list.

However, calculating on the inaccuracy of who wrote the documents, it could be deduced: that Nico Boxov is Nicola Rose especially since the name in the document is written unclearly, that Gica Giurkin is Giocca Giuchin; both heads of families who came in 1733. For Rade Vucov and Marco Giocca no corresponding name is found in the lists, unless this Vucov is the head of the Prem family.”

Vuco Marghiecievich (Vukë Markiqi) or Petar Vuco Gionova (Pjeter Vukë Gjonova) who came as early as 1726.

“Although a document 4), which grants the requested investiture of the 80 fields located in Zemonico, declares the families of Giovanni Nica, Giovanni Prenci, Nica Giovi, Frane Popov, Nico Boxov and Rade Vucov extinct, we must nevertheless comply in all and throughout to the plea of the Albanians, as the most correct. The investiture decree offers many inaccuracies, it does not appoint Fr. And. the families of Gica Giuchin and Marco Giocca – while the petition even contains a detailed specification of the people to whom these vacant fields should be given.

However, we must not believe that the dead families have become completely extinct, since the petition also includes some wards in the distribution. It would therefore be incorrect to deduce that of the 410 Albanians who had come so far, 27 left on this occasion. But even if we wanted to admit this number, it could not therefore be said that the Albanian colony was deteriorating, having been granted the investiture, having regarding the not insignificant increase in offspring 2).

In 1739, 8 families had become extinct again, whose assets were requested by the other Albanians, who, like the first time, showed the Superintendent what the most just way of distribution would be. The names of these extinct families are: 1. Nicolò di Gioni, 2. Paolo Prentov, 3. Giovanni Preuci, 4. Frane Popov, 5. Giovanni Nica, 6. Nicolo di Preuci, 7. Giocca Giuechin, 8, Rado Vuko di Paul. The Prov. Gen. Marino Antonio Cavalli (1738-1744) granted the investiture of fields 44 and quarters 3, which remained at public disposal following the death of the owners, with the usual formulas and with the traditional obligation of the tithe 3).

Here it is best to refrain from making any statistical deductions, because at most they would lead us to very problematic results. Consider that of the families mentioned here, those of Giovanni Prenci, Frane Popov, Giovanni Nica and Rado Vucov appear to have been extinct already in 1735.

Construction of the Church.

“The village of Borgo Erizzo was now populated and wealthy enough to make it necessary to build a church. The villagers therefore turned to Archbishop Zmajević, begging him to provide them with a church and a parish priest, while they declared themselves ready to contribute in the future with a part of the harvests to its maintenance.

Zmajević first of all chose a parish priest, who knew Albanian and then asked the Senate of Venice for permission to build a church at his own expense, which 4) was granted to him on 17 September 4755.

The Government had already established in 1733 a patrimony of 12 fields, 2 quarters and 448 tables for the church, or rather for the maintenance of a parish priest, and it was therefore within its rights, if in this meeting it remembered, that the church did not he could purchase stable assets without the consent of the authorities. This was a truly salutary law, which protected the poor peasant against the usury of the church. It preserved him from the danger of losing his possession of the church, and then becoming a colonist of that same land, of which he had previously been the owner. It is therefore that
