Emanuele’s surname morphed from Imbrogl to Imbroll, possibly because of phoenetic spelling. He is one of my maternal 4 x great-grandparents.
Emanuele Imbrogl
1810-1819
Maria Zammit
Maria lived her whole life in the village of Attard like many of her family members.
She is one of my paternal 3 x great-grandmothers.
Vincenzo Bonnici
Seeing Malta transition from a possession of the Knights of St John, to being under Napoleon, to being a British colony must have been impressive. Vincenzo lived through all this.
He is one of my maternal 4 x great-grandfathers.
Angelica Alessandra
She married at a young age to an older man, possibly because of her father’s death. She escaped Malta’s densely packed harbour area to move to the fishing village of St Julian’s.
She is one of my maternal 3 x great-grandmothers.
Teresa Imbroll
Valletta-born and bred, Teresa lived within the same 0.61 square kilometres for her whole life.
She is one of my maternal great-great-great-grandmothers.
Girolamo Bonnici
Girolamo was part of the 19th century migration out of Valletta to the (at the time) calmer village of St Julian’s. He loved Valletta enough to move back later on in life.
Michele Darmenia
We know little about Michele Darmenia because few records exist.
Paolo Darmenia (19th Century)
It’s taking time to uncover original sources for Paolo Darmenia’s life. There’s a lot that we can infer from other sources though.
He is one of my maternal great-great-great-grandfathers.
