House of Gučetić/Gozze

The noble family Gučetić or Gozze were one of the old families of the old Ragusa (Dubrovnik), since the 8th century.

In the manual of the aristocracy, encyclopedia, 1978, volume IV, the following entry is found:

Gozze Kath. - Patrizier of Ragusa. - Hungarian ones. Gfnstand with “de Trebinje et Popovo” Vienna 23.4.1687 (for Lucas, Raphael and Nicolaus de Gozze); österr.

Aristocracy and coat of arms confirmation by A.E of 16.6.1835, diploma… 27.8.1836 (for Melchior v. Gozze).

In the book: Condition increases and grace document for the German Reich and Austrian hereditary country until 1806… of Karl the Friedrich v. franc on lock Senftenegg, 1970, the following is noted:

Gozze, Raphael Johann de, Patrizier of Ragusa, AdBest., 10.XI 1817, Gozze, Paul de, son of the Wladislaus, Lucas, Lucas Maria, Johann, Paul, Söhne of the Nikolaus Wladislaus, count title as a “count von Trebigne (Trebinje) and Popovo”, 31.V.1818.

In the manual of the aristocracy, räfliche houses, volume XI, 1983, the genealogy of the counts de Gozze is published. Write nevertheless simply, what you need for data from the genealogy of the count family. After this expenditure (1983) nearly all family members live in former Yugoslavia in addition, in Erftstadt Gymnich.

The ultime members were:
* Nicolaus (Niksa) geb. Triest 26.4.1906, attorney, married in Durbronik 19.4.1937 with Ernestine (Erna) Bavarian, born 14.7.1911, it has 4 children:

** Nicoletta (Nicca) born 24.6.1949;
** Orsat(o) Luka born 27.3.1954 musicians.

Furthermore only daughters are born of other counts Gozze, Marine (Marino) and Orsat did not provide for male children, this male trunk might expire.

The Orsat count von Gozze lived 1983 in Erftstadt Gymnich and the count Marin von Gozze lived 1983 in Zagreb Sopot II. In the entrance text in the manual of the aristocracy is mentioned and I still quotes literally: Is last one of the genealogy (with further lines): Gotha gfl. Taschb.1872.

Also would be to examine whether under the name count von Trebinje and Popovo the family Gozze and/or under this new aristocracy name further-flowered a new sex created.

The family is known for erecting the oldest arboretum in the world, in Trsteno near Dubrovnik.
