Hello. I just found a passport listed on geneanum.com of a trip made by my great grandmother and my grandfather! So excited! It must have been listed recently.
Here is the info:
DATE: 1889-10-03 BROWN, Carmela
SPOUSE: Frederick / BIRTHDATE: 1852-01-25 /
AGE:37 /
LOCATION: Cospicua / DESTINATION: Turkey
accompagné par her son Georgie aged 5 yrs NB:
546
PLEASE can you tell me where I can find or view this document?
thank you,
Carol
you just have to click on ' archives nationales de Malte ', alphabetical order and you will find it! you are lucky, because I think my family must have swam across ,no sign of them!
Thank yo Chantal but I don't understand exactly where to look on the National Archives site.
Under Catalogues? What do I write for TITLE or DESCRIPTION? I tried Passports and nothing came up. I looked for Passports alphabetically under the CODE list and it is not there.
I presume I need to input the code NB 546 somewhere?
Thank you SO much Chantal! This is amazing to find these old documents! I knew my grandfather had gone to Turkey, but I thought he was older. To think he went when he was 5 years old!
I dont' suppose you know what it says at the bottom and on the left?
Thank you again!
'The said CarmelaCachia is currently the wife of Frederico Brown and wants to join her husband who is in Constantinople3
That's the sentence added at the bottom of the right hand page
For the 2 lines on the left page
I think it says (after checking with my italian friends to be sure,that's why it took some time to reply!):
'The mother who appears in what is written, declares wanting to let her son leave'.(La madre dell'entroscritto dichiara di voler lasciare il figlio partire')
I hope it helps you!
With regards
Chantal Johnston

Carol
you're welcome! It's really fascinating to see where we come from, all these people who have moved around, lived, taken risks Etc....and it's frustrating when we get stuck!
Good journey through your genealogie
