Nicolai Žubrinić
1769–?
The only parent on record here is not a person
| Entered as the parent | M Žubrinić Xubrinich Zubrinic |
|---|
That is a sorting label — a note somebody typed into the parent's slot while working through records. No priest wrote it and nobody was called it. It is the only parent this record has, so nothing documented attaches this person to anyone. This is not a claim that the person is invented; the register entries behind them are real. It is a statement about the join. Why this matters →
A father in the same year as his son
| The tree says | Born before 1769; Stephanus Žubrinić born 1769 |
|---|---|
| The record says | An artefact of the hedge, not a contradiction |
“BEF 1769” is somebody's estimate, made by working backwards from the son's birth. It is not a date anyone read. Flagged by the consistency check because the check cannot tell an estimate from a record, and kept here to say so rather than to dispute it. Read it →
He was not called “Nicolai”
| The tree records | Nicolai |
|---|---|
| Which is | the genitive of Nicolaus |
These registers are narrative Latin. A priest writing baptizavi Josephum — “I baptised Josephus” — is writing a case ending, and filius Josephi is “son of Josephus”. Transcribed literally, the ending becomes the name. In life this person was Nicolaus, or its Croatian form. All forty of them →

No parent is recorded for this person
The family tree does give one. It is not a person: it is M Žubrinić Xubrinich Zubrinic — a sorting label, one of the drawers a researcher used to hold names they had not placed yet. This archive does not publish those as ancestors, so the space above is empty rather than filled with a filing system.
It is not a small thing. 144 published people here have a label where a father should be, and 286 hang off one somewhere. What the labels are →
Family
The mark describes the person, not the link. Of the 25 relatives drawn here, 5 have a document of their own in this archive — but that is not the same as a document tying them to this person. This archive holds no separate proof for most parent–child links; where it does, the note above this chart says so in words.
More than one person in this chart carries the same name — Maria Žubrinić, Michael Miho Michaël Žubrinić. That is what the source says. This archive does not merge records on a name, so they are drawn separately even where one duplicated entry is the likelier explanation.

Where this sits in the family
Not on the direct line. They are published because they belong to one of the eight surnames this archive follows.
The register spells this surname more than one way, and the search folds the forms together — so Xubrinich and Žubrinić, Joannis and Ivan, find each other.

None. This person carries no source string at all in the tree. They may still be right — but nothing here can be checked without going to the register. Method →
An online family tree is a witness, not a source. Where a citation points at a parish register or a FamilySearch image, that is the thing worth going to. Sources →
