The \u017dugelj household at Zilje 18 is named according to the surname of the family that lived there for many generations. There is evidence of an inheritance of a vinyard by a Mikula \u017dugelj upon the death of Kristof Purgstall in 1587, then owner of Pobre\u017eje Castle. This coincides nicely with oral tradition: a \u017dugelj was bequeathed land in Zilje<\/a> by his employer, the count of the Pobre\u017eje Castle near Adle\u0161i\u010di<\/a>. This \u017dugelj was a gardener for the Count, and this part of the story is supported by the arrangement of fruit trees around the \u017dugelj household. Other households in Zilje<\/a> had fruit trees planted sporadically around the house, but at the \u017duglji they are arranged in rows, as they would be if planted by someone who was a gardener by trade. The oldest record we have for a person living here is for Nikolaj \u017dugelj, who was not born in Zilje<\/a>, but in Dolenjci (Parish Podzemelj at the time) in 1735. The surname remained \u017dugelj until the early 1900s, and the household was sold by the family in the mid 1900s.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Jo\u017ee \u017dugelj [3C] was likely more educated than the average person living in Zilje<\/a>, since his father was, apparently, a teacher. In this article from the June 17th, 1879 edition of the Slovenec<\/em> newspaper, we see that Jo\u017ee \u017dugelj [3C] was one of eight selected to elect a national representative to the Austrian House of Deputies (Abgeordnetenhaus<\/em>). Only men 25 years or older who paid a set minimum in property taxes would be allowed to vote (approximately 6% of the population).<\/p>\n

Jo\u017ee \u017dugelj [3C], according to oral tradition, also had a tavern at the \u017duglji, where he would also forcibly detain individuals who could not pay. It seems he was a person who wielded a relatively good amount of power in town, his two illegitimate children were recorded as legitimate in the church records. He was also likely an alcoholic, which resulted in surmounting indebtedness. By the time Jo\u017ee [3C] died in 1897, he had lost ownership of the family farm.<\/p>\n

As a result, Matija \u017dugelj [4B] did not inherit any land. In order to buy the land back from creditors, he began to travel to the USA in 1896, and worked in Pittsburgh on and off for many years, saving up money to buy back the family farm.<\/p>\n

\n

Matija \u017dugelj [4B] and his wife Barbara Cveta\u0161 had 6 children, including:<\/p>\n

5A. Marija \u017dugelj b. 1907, m. 1926 to Ivan Langer (Brezovina 32).<\/p>\n

5B. Barbara \u017dugelj b. 1914, m. 1930 to Stanislav \u010cemas (Dolnji Bro\u017ei\u010dev<\/a>) — they remained at this house.<\/p>\n

Barbara \u017dugelj [4D] and his wife Franc Ga\u0161pari\u010d had 9 children, including:<\/p>\n

5C. Frank Gaspar b. 1908. At this time, it is unknown what happened to him afterwards.<\/p>\n

5D. John Gaspar b. 1913. At this time, it is unknown what happened to him afterwards.<\/p>\n
