Good morning,
I'm new to the group. I have been searching the records for the marriage between Pietro Caruana and Joanna Grech who were wed on 10-05-1831 (Matrice Gozo). Pietro's parents are recorded as being Francesco and Anna (maiden surname is not recorded)and it indicates that they were from Porto Salvo. However, in the actual marriage register, there was a loose note stating that the name of the husband (referring to Pietro Caruana)was originally Michele Zammiet and that with the bishop's permission, it was being changed to Pietro Caruana. I've been trying to search for the birth certificate of Pietro Caruana or a Michele Zammit but with no success. I also tried to trace the marriage certificate between Francesco and Anna , however, I am not sure whether the surname would be Zammit or Caruana. It would be appreciated if you could check whether you have any additional records which might be linked either to Pietro Caruana's birth certificate (could be Michele Zammit)or a marriage between Francesco (Caruana or Zammit)and Anna. I tried to get information from Porto Salvo church but to no avail. It would be appreciated if you could suggest any possibilities on how to trace back the Caruana line further.
Thanks.
