Hello there,
I hope that someone could guide me to find the information I need or be able to shed some light on things for me.
I am really struggling to find any information on my ancestors from both my parents side. At the moment my priority is to get as much details on my mother's family. My mum is 97 years old and although my mum believes that their parents had 18 children, her older brother had told his children that there were 21 children. My one and only discovery was that there were only 16 children in the family. That was by making contact with a church in Malta and the priest sent me the birth names and dates of births. He was not able to help me with further inquiries. I don't know if somehow they may have missed some as my mother always believed that there were 18 children.
I can't find anything on line about any of her siblings. There are 2 in particular that I would dearly love to get the correct information on as mum never stops talking about them. They were the 2 oldest girls who looked after the younger ones.
First born: Maria Carmela Cuschieri nee Borg born 1905 August 26. She immigrated to America and had 2 children. I would love to find details on when she immigrated and when she passed away and where. Any information would be appreciated.
Second born: Giovanna aka Jane aka Joan Borg. Born 1906 August 21. Giovanna did marry, possibly his name was Lawrence aka Wensu, surname is unknown. To mum's knowledge, Giovanna had a baby boy but baby and Giovanna passed away at birth in Malta. Again any information or confirmation of these details would be appreciated.
If there are photos that people come across that would be awesome.
My 97 year old mother has only one sibling alive. She is 91 and lives in Malta but she is not well and over the years wasn't able to offer any assistance with the rest of the siblings details. We don't live in Malta so I am not able to visit the churches to look the details up.
If anyone could offer any assistance, I would be so grateful.
Thank you and have a great day!
