Hello Christiane and Friends,
Here is some information that might help find any of my family missing links.
Hello
Anyone,
I hope
someone can help me find more about one of my Great Grandfathers Francesco Xuereb in which somehow was separated/lost
for 180 years.
About a year
ago Anne Marie Xuereb contacted me from
France and she got the same Great Grandfather (Both sides of the family knew of
someone travelled to Australia and returned back to get Married. - [from where
he boarded to go to Australia and where he returned too, I dont know]).
Note:________ A Salvatore Xuereb (Could be his
father)travelled alone from Port Marseilles (Unassisted Passenger Lists
1826-1922)on board a vessel name, El Kantara arriving at Port Sydney Australia
on 25 May 1822.
After 180
years I found that he had another two brothers Andrea Laurent and Cajetan
Pascal Xuereb Plus more (about 3 Brothers and a Sister).
I give you some Names and Dated in an
endeavour of finding more about his birth, death and family etc.
My Great
Grandfathers Name is: Francesco Xuereb (b abt. 1839. [Could be in Qormi,
Malta]. (Thats where his parents got married and his brothers born/Baptised
d?).
His Father: Salvatore Xuereb (b? - d?).
His Mother: Paola de Gabrieli (b abt 1800 - d?).
Married 7 Aug 1825 Qormi, Malta.
His Brother: Andre Laurent (b 14 May 1840 [Qormi,
Malta?] - d 18 Dec 1895 Philippeville,
Algeria).
His Brother: Cajetan Pascal (b 4 Jul 1848 Qormi,
Malta - d 16 Jul 1901 Philippeville, Algeria).
Because of Famine and Disease.
Family and
Friends packed their seeds and belonging and went to Algeria.
A short story from Anne-Marie Xuereb: In Algeria. The elders spoke little,
especially not to the children, everything was a secret.
The papers of
the boat (.........)were written in Maltese, nobody, in each port, being able
to translate them, prohibition of docking, after a few weeks, going along the
coast, Rusicade/Philippeville accepted the passengers and cargo, unfortunately,
the seeds have rotten. (You either go back or stay and start at zero again)
They decided to stay.
After several
years, this is confirmed by the progress of the profession of marriage
certificates, over time.
Further Note:
On Maltese documents, the profession is never indicated. We had to look for
somewhere to live, elsewhere because of Maltas famine.
At the time
there were epidemics, poor harvests and families were numerous.
There are
other siblings to Andre and Cejetan with No DOB etc. Are: (Most Likely born in
Philippeville, Algeria):-
Francesca,
Andrea, Antonio, Carmelo another Francesco-must have died young.
His Wife:
Paola de Gabrieli (b about 1800 - d ?).
Her Father:
Francesco de Gabrieli.
Her Mother:
Gaetana nee PACE.
A Further
note: Salvatore XUEREB b ? was previously married
to Nicolina Bonavia (b 1798 ? Porto Salvo, Valletta, Malta? - d?)Married 12
Jun 1818 Valletta, Malta.
It will be
nice to find some things about Francesco or, any additional information about the Family and How? or Why? The Family drifted apart or Lost all these years.
Sincerely
Yours
Vincent Xuereb
