Abstract
This paper examines the creation of family memories among the Ragusan citizenry by analysing the preserved genealogy collections, today stored in the State Archives in Dubrovnik. The focus is on the time frame and chronology of the collections, especially the most famous among them, the so-called "Vlajki genealogy" of the Antunini confraternity. The connections between the Dubrovnik chancery, the confraternity, and the shaping of the collective memory of the citizenry is explored, examining the reliability of genealogy and the motivation behind the creation of such collections.
