Good morning,
Firstly, I'd like to thank you for this interesting project, which so far has been really helpful to trace my family tree.
This brings me to a very interesting question, which you might be able to help me with.
I've been trying to complete the family tree from the Caruana side of the family. However, I got stuck in the following record:
Pietro Caruana married Giovanna Grech (10-05-183). In the geneanum.com site, Giovanna's parents are listed as Lorenzo Grech and Maria Bugeja. There is no reference to Pietro's parents, apart from a note which states that Pietro might have been from Porto Salvo Parish Church in Valletta.
When I checked this record at the Gozo Cathedral, I managed to find a letter in the marriage register, which seems to indicate that Pietro had changed his name and surname from Michele Zammit to Pietro Caruana.
His parents are recorded as Francesco and Anna. By any chance do you have any information as to how I can trace back Pietro's parents' marriage certificate. I tried to call the Porto Salvo Parish Church but to no avail.
At this point I'm not sure whether Pietro's father was Francesco Caruana or Francesco Zammit.
Thanks so much & regards,
Maria
