The Families and the Archives of Boglić-Božić in Hvar
Joško Kovačić
Sažetak
The paper presents a genealogy of Boglić (Boglich, Boghlich) family from the town of Hvar, island of Hvar (Lesina in Italian), Croatia. They originate from the village of Vrbanj on the same island and were at first farmers and craftsmen, but soon took to military service and then to barristers' careers. That gradually acquired them a considerable landed property, increased when in the late 18th c. a prominent member married a noblewoman Jakša, with family ties to old patrician houses of Ivanić, Fazanić, Hektorović, Bartučević. In the 19th c. Boglićs, who in 1798 were given a short-lived communal nobility, took to intellectual professions and/or civil service. Their landed property was lost in agrarian reforms in 1930ies and 1940ies; roughly at the same time a family branch settled permanently in Italy, their country of preference for cultural and political reasons. The other branch became extinct in the early 1900s and was inherited by their cousins Božićs, a family originating from Herzegovina. The genealogy of both families is followed by an inventory of the family archives, donated by the descendants to the Centre for Protection of Cultural Heritage of the Island of Hvar (now Museum of the Heritage of Hvar) in 1998. This precious collection of old documents, of a paramount interest for the island's history, was mainly gathered by Rev. Jakov Boglić (1826-1897), a historian of
Hvar, who served as a professor in Zadar.
