Migracijsko povezivanje šireg rovinjskog područja i Pule: doseljenici iz Rovinjskog sela u pulskim matičnim knjigama od XVII. do XIX. stoljeća
Migrational integration of the wider Rovinj area and Pula: settlers from Rovinjsko Selo in church registers of Pula from the 17th to the 19th century

Summary/Abstract: On the example of Rovinjsko selo, the author analyses the immigration into the city of Pula by means of which it managed to survive as an urban center. The research is based on a detailed analysis of church registers (more than 18000 entries) of the city of Pula between 1613 and 1817 that are kept in the City Archives in Pazin. Rovinjsko Selo was founded in 1525 by Croatian settlers that the sources call Morlachs, who most probably came from the Dalmatian region. It was under the jurisdiction of Poreč diocese. Although scarce, the records about the only village in the Rovinj area found in the church registers of Pula are very valuable. It is interesting to note that Rovinjsko Selo in the mentioned records is also referred to as: Villa di / de Rovigno or Villa di sora Rovigno. The information about the settlers are only to be found in the deaths section of the church registers. Out of all the Croatian family names connected with the settlers that are mentioned in the church records (Jerkić, Vlašković, Ugrin), only the last one still existed in 1945. Although only some settlers are mentioned in the registers, it should be noted that these records shed light on the history of this region from an entirely unresearched position, and thus represent a significant contribution to understanding the relations between Rovinjsko Selo and Pula.
