A descendant of the Felici family, Giovanni’s surname may have been the result of a typo in his official records.

This person is one of my maternal great-great-grandfathers.

He was born in Valletta, Malta¹. He is the son of Michele¹, who may have been Felici, not Felice, and Catarina Curmi.

He was 40 when his son was born in 1871¹, putting his year of birth as 1830 or 1831.

Family

He married Ludcarda Cremona, sometime before 1871¹, maybe in 1859², in Floriana².

Together they had 6 children^{2 3}:

• Giuseppe
• Antonio
• Paolo
• Maria
• Rosaria
• Maria Concetta

Notable events

At some point he moved to Sliema, since this is where his first son was born³.

In 1871, he declared himself to be a cook¹ but by the time of his death he had become a trader⁴.

Death

He died before his son married in 1908⁴.

Lineage
