Family
Vlaho Kaboga was the son of Bernard Kaboga (*1671; †1753) and his wife Maria née Bosdari (*1671; †1753). He had several brothers and sisters, among which was Marin, the duke of Slano. In 1732 he married Katarina Gundulić (*1709; †1749), a daughter of Dživo Šiškov Gundulić and great-granddaughter of Ivan Gundulić, the most prominent ragusan Baroque poet.
He had a large family, of whom two sons, Bernard (*1739; †1814) and Ivan (*1743; †1826), were notable austrofils and freemasons, very influential Ragusan politicians who undertook many public duties. His grandsons Vlaho Filip "traditur" (*1774; †1854) and Bernard-Brno (*1785; †1855) were granted the title of count by the emperor of the Habsburg monarchy.
