The People

According to a tax registers of the 15th to 17th centuries, the village of Učakovci included a total of x Hübe or arable land divided amongst the x residents.  It is important to point out that these tax registers only list individuals who were subjects of the Lord for whom the register was created.  There were other individuals, along with their families, living in Učakovci at this time.

When we turn to Birth and Marriage Registers (matične knjige) kept by the Catholic Church, we can identify 37 individual households existing in Učakovci in the year 1820.  Some of these households, and the houses themselves, have since vanished.  Other have been since created, usually as delniki, i.e.  by partitions of a pre-existing household into two (or more) households.

The families in Učakovci are long standing families where ownership of households did not change hands very often.  We have found  9 distinct surnames in the oldest church records including, Brozovič (2 houses), Bubaš (2 houses), Hudak (3 houses), Krušec (2 houses), Maljevac (2 houses), Mihelčič (7 houses), Papa (5 houses), Prokšelj (2 houses)  and Verbanec (6 houses).

Below is a list of the houses of Učakovci with both the original house numbers and today’s house numbers (if the house still exists). Also included is the household name (if known).
