Hello Clare
My grandfather was born in Malta. On his birth certificate, it stated his mother who was a Cachia, was born in Cefalonia. I started researching more on the Cachia family but it has been difficult.
From what we have learned, we think the family was Maltese but went to live in Greece for several years, probably for the father to work. They had 4 children while there, and then moved back to Malta.
Josyanne was able to find the baptismal certificates of the 4 children born in Cefalonia. They were listed in Cospicua. Apparently that is the centralized parish for those born abroad. So because they were Maltese born in Greece, their baptisms were listed in Cospicua parish.
You can maybe try looking here?
