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 has the name of Jankoči. This name finds its origins in the name of the multiple patriarchs of this household named Janko, Johan or Janez.
Through the period of our studies, we have found two houses which originally carried the Horvat surname in Kot pri Damlju. This is the second of the two houses (in order of house address). The Horvat surname is not very common in the Vinica parish but very common across all of Slovenia. It is likely a mutation of Hrvat which translates to Croatian.
The oldest record we have found to date for a person from this house is for Johan Horvat b. 1798. He married Katarina Fortun b. 1802. They did not have any children.
At this point, Johan Horvat (Jurečev) moved in with his wife Katarina Lovrenčič (Gorica 6) who already had some children born at Kot 24.
Johan Horvat and his wife Katarina Lovrenčič had 9 children, including:
2A. Johan Horvat b. 1853, m. 1879 to Katarina Žalec (Guštinkina from Sinji Vrh) — they remained at this house.
2B. Miha Horvat b. 1858. At this time, it is unknown what happened to him afterwards.
2C. Margareta Horvat b. 1867, m. 1887 to Johan Žalec (Lahrečkov from Damelj).
Johan Horvat [2A] and his wife Katarina Žalec had 6 children, including:
