Anna lived her whole life in the central idyllic village of Attard, Malta. All the information I have on her comes from church records.

She is one of my paternal great-great-grandmothers.

Anna was born in Attard, Malta¹, on Wednesday 28 January 1835¹, daughter of Giovanni Xiberras and Maria Magro¹. She was baptised on the same day as Anna Grazia Theresa Paola Giovanna¹ in the parish church of Attard¹.

Since she was baptised as Anna, that is how I refer to her here. In one instance, she is referred to on official documentation as “Annie”².

Family

On Sunday 16 January 1859³ she married Giovanni Borg³ in the parish church of Attard³. The banns had been published in November 1858, 2 and 9 January³. The parish priest, Fr Antonius Vassallo officiated³.

Together they had 1 child I know of:

• Giuseppe

Notable events

She lived in Attard, possibly for all her life, because that is where her son was born⁴.

Death

There is little context to suggest when she died. She was still alive in 1903 when her son married, but had died by 1949 when her son died. Other than that, I have no information about her death.
