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 Pavliči. It is conceivable that the founder of this household was a man named Pavel or Paul. The household name was later changed to Spodnji Pavliči to avoid confusion with the Verbanec family at Učakovci 13 who were also known as the Pavliči. It is not inconceivable that this family and the family at Učakovci 13 are related, though, at present, we do not have any definitive information to prove any such relation.
Through the period of our studies, we have found seven distinct houses which originally carried the Verbanec surname. This is the fifth of the seven houses (in order of house address).
The oldest record we have found to date for a person from this house is for the wife of the patriarch Helena b. 1769. Together, they had at least 5 children, including:
1A. Johan Verbanec b. 1794, m. ca. 1825 to Katarina Flajnik — they remained at this house.
1B. Helena Verbanec b. 1804. At this time, it is unknown what happened to her afterwards.
1C. Nikolaj Verbanec b. 1806. At this time, it is unknown what happened to him afterwards.
1D. Jurij Verbanec b. 1809. At this time, it is unknown what happened to him afterwards.
1E. Matija Verbanec b. 1812, m. ca. 1837 to Magdalena Maljevac (Paričeva from Vukovci) — they remained at this house.
Johan Verbanec [1A] and his wife Katarina Flajnik had 6 children, including:
2A. Barbara Verbanec b. 1829. At this time, it is unknown what happened to her afterwards.
2B. Jurij Verbanec b. 1839, died at the age of 67. At this time, it is unknown if he was ever married or had children.
Matija Verbanec [1E] and his wife Magdalena Maljevac had 1 child:
2C. Jurij Verbanec b. 1837, m. Barbara Šnelar (Polančeva from Kovačji Grad) — they remained at this house.
Jurij Verbanec [2C] and his wife Barbara Šnelar did not have any children.
Jurij Verbanec [2C] m. 1892 to his second wife Magdalena Brožič (Mihelova from Otok). Together they had 1 child:
3A. Frančiška Verbanec b. 1893, died at the age of 23. At this time, it is unknown if she was ever married or had children.
Magdalena Brožič m. 1895 to her second husband Miha Brozovič (Brozovičev). Together they had 5 children which died in infancy or early childhood.
At this point, the original Verbanec lineage ended at this house. Johan Jesih (Jesihov) moved in with his wife Marija Verbanec (Staregova).
Johan Jesih and his wife Marija Verbanec had 1 child.
