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 carries the name of Kucani. Kuca or Ku\u0107a (Bosnian) translates to house. It is not unreasonable to conclude that this may refer to the occupation of the patriarch of the house when it was named.<\/p>\n
This house is documented as being vacant when Johan Benec (Marki\u010dov<\/a>) moved in with his wife Helena Tomec. At this time, there is no evidence suggesting what family lived here before them.<\/p>\n The oldest record we have found to date for a person from this house is for Johan Benec b. 1809. He married Helena Tomec b. 1806. Together, they had at least 6 children, including:<\/p>\n 1A. Jurij Benec b. 1831, m. ca. 1848 to Katarina Medved (Medvedova<\/a>).<\/p>\n 1B.

Katarina Benec b. 1836, m. 1864 to Johan Kajin (Gornji Kajinov<\/a>).<\/p>\n 1D. Barbara Benec b. 1841. At this time, it is unknown what happened to her afterwards.<\/p>\n 1E.
