Giuseppa Attard

Giuseppa survived both world wars, first working the land in Qormi and later in the tiny village of Attard.

She is one of my paternal great-grandmothers.

Paolo Borg

A male nurse, at a time when this was not common, Paolo moved from Sliema to Attard after getting married.

Fondly remembered as Nannu Paul, he was my paternal grandfather.

Maria Borg

Like many early 20th-century Maltese people, Maria was born and lived her whole life within the same village, i.e., the same 7 square kilometers.

She is my paternal grandmother.
