While every house in Slovenia has a civic address, many houses also carry a household name. These names are how other people typically referred to that family. This house originally carried the name of Kraljevi. At this time, the origin of this name is unknown to us.
This house is the second of ten documented houses in church documents to be considered a “new” house in Hrast. The best estimate for the construction of these series of houses is after 1830.
The Balkovec family that originally inhabited this house is the Balkovec family of Hrast 9. It is not clear why they are documented as being residents of this house as a Gorše family from Hrast 33 moved in here soon after the houses creation.
The oldest record we have found to date for a person from this house is for Miha Gorše (Zapojčev) b. 1816. He married Ana Flajnik (Dolnja Bertova from Perudina) b. 1828 in 1849. Together they had 1 child which died in infancy..
Ana Flajnik m. 1880 to her second husband from Črnomelj — it is unknown where they went afterwards..
