DESCENDANTS OF THE 17TH CENTURY MINERS FROM RUDE BY SAMOBOR IN CROATIA
Berislav Šebečić
Sažetak
It is known that in a copper mine at Rude by Samobor many German families used to work as miners, some of which immigrated to Croatia already in the 16th Century and got gradually croatized there. Along with the changing of the owners of the Town of Samobor, so changed also the miners. Among the miners' families there are mentioned also the Suisters or Shu(i)isiers, Shu{i)szters and Schusters, as their surname was spelled in Latin and partly in Hungarian and German. It is assumed that Šujstcrs are croatized Schuisters or Schusters. According to our knowledge today, the eldest of the family was Matija (Mathias) Šujster (Suister) whose grandchildren were already known miners Blaž and Lovro, all the way to the gre-at(great)grandson Stjepan in the mid 19th Century. A number of descendants of the miners from Rude moved from their ancestral homes at Pihlerov Brijeg and Crnec. They became farmers, and then also quarrymen, carpenters, millers, coopers, etc. The Šujsters of today are engaged in various trades and professions.
