I know Rosaria existed because of the record of her marriage; I haven’t found her birth and death records, as yet. She is one of my paternal 3 x great-grandmothers.
Rosaria Sant
Port of Malta region
Maria Carmela Borg
Valletta-born and raised, Maria Carmela married young, and died before her 50th birthday. She is one of my paternal 3 x great-grandmothers.
Luigi Xuereb
There are almost no primary sources for Luigi given the lack of concrete data around his life. He is one of my paternal 3 x great-grandfathers.
Antonio Parteca
Antonio lived in Valletta all of his life, which is logical since this the capital was the main source of employment in the 19th century. He is one of my paternal 4 x great-grandfathers.
Lorenza Laferla
Lorenza married young, at the age of 15. While not unusual in the 19th century, not many people in my ancestry married that young which makes me wonder if it was a shotgun wedding. She was one of my paternal 3 x great-grandmothers.
Vincenza Portelli
Vincenza married well and ended up being independently wealthy, but she died young at the age of 59.
She is one of my maternal 3 x great-grandmothers.
Isidoro Farrugia
A British national before the British ruled the Maltese islands, Isidoro was the grandson of a consul of the British Empire and married into a French family.
Annetta Zarb
Annetta was part of the gradual exodus of people from Valletta. There’s little in the immediate historical archive, so information about her is scant.
Maria Sammut
Attard-born Maria Sammut lived in the village for all her life. She tilled the land her family owned as well as having a full family life.
She is one of my paternal 3 x great-grandmothers.
Michele Felice
Michele was a Felice but had this name changed to Felici, possibly because of a typo. He is one of my maternal 3 x great-grandfathers.
