Abstract
The chief topic of this article is analysis of inter-connections among emigrants from Island of Hvar within the Croatian confraternity of SS George and Tryphon in Venice in the period from the fifteenth up to eighteenth century. The article is based upon analysis of the archival sources kept in the State Archive in Venice (mostly last wills) and on the records from the Archives of the Confraternity of SS George and Tryphon (income records, lists of members and confraternity officials). The analysis has revealed that throughout the investigated centuries the emigrants from Hvar were one of the most important regional groups of Croats in Venice. Moreover, in the seventeenth century they were the most prominent amongst all the other brothers from Dalmatia (including emigrants from Boka kotorska). At the end author provides a complete list of all the investigated emigrants from Island of Hvar, who were involved in the activities of the Confraternity of SS George and Tryphon in Venice.
