Hello,
No problem,
If you want to know details on the malta history, I will only advise to rely on historian studies done by historians (maltese, english, french,...).
Like you said, the malta history was neglected and some used it as an advantage.
Some want to prove that malta was Christian country all along (now we know that while arab period, all previous christians were expulsed).
Some want to prove that arab dynasty survived in all maltese people.
Like all of us, you can link your tree with Maltagenealogy from 1600 (the main source on this website is the ADAMI collection) .
But before, poof, it's mystery.
You can ask to Charles Said Vassallo, the Web Master of Maltagenealogy. Or he can reply here if he wants.
From my point of view, he never give me any proof that i ask (and i'm not alone).
Sometimes, he would said that he has private collection.
But I doubt an australian has archives that the national archives of Malta doesn't have. And i don't think that will be legal to possesed that kind of original documents.
Between 1200-1400 all maltese notaries registries are gone. The main source is the sicilian notaries, in it you have some trade, event,... Between sicily and malta. But it will help understand the maltese history but very unlikely help you with your specific family tree.
