My last message seemed to translate strangely when I posted, so I will try again!

My grandfather who was born in Vittoriosa in 1884, had a sister who was born shortly before or after him. Because his mother died when they were young (perhaps during childbirth), the sister was apparently sent off to live in a cloistered convent. He never had any contact with her after that. She has always been a mystery in the family.. we don't even know her name. Was there more than one convent like this at that time?

And does anyone know if it is possible to get any information about the girls who entered and lived there?

Bonjour à tous,

Beaucoup d'entre vous ont remarqué un problème de recherche dans les mariages maltais.

Après pas mal de prises de tête, j'ai enfin trouvé le problème et la solution en prime :p

Vous pouvez dès maintenant profiter de la recherche des mariages maltais de façon optimale.

Bonne recherche,

Nicolas

Carol,

The simple way would be to write to the church concerned for details.  the response from the parishes is variable.  Some respond quite quickly, others slowly, and some not at all.

If the marriage took place after 1863 then you can order a certificate from  https://secure2.gov.mt/certifikati/Marriage.aspx

a failry simple and straight forward process.

While searching on geneanum.com I looked under Marriages and I think I found my great grandfather and great grandmother listed there! I am so excited because I never had a date for their wedding before!

Can you tell me if is it possible to get more information that would be on this certificate? Or how to get a copy of it? I would like to find out the names of her parents.

Is it possible to find passenger lists for journeys by ship from Malta to the England between 1901 and 1902?

Thanks for your time.

Kind regards...Dave Lambert

Does anyone here have any relatives or information on the Cachia family? My grandfather's mother, Carmela Cachia was born in Cefalonia in 1854 but I guess the family moved to Malta at some point because my grandfather was born in Vittoriosa. Her father was Salvatore Cachia.

After emigrating to Canada my grandfather wrote to relatives in Malta up until about 1937. Apparently a John Fletcherbwas somehow related to the Cachia's and lived in Sliema at the time.

Any information you can share would be appreciated.

Bonjour

Je suis à la recherche de tout renseignement concernant la filiation Mamo;le plus ancien que j'ai trouvé se nomme Mamo antoine né en 1817 et a épousé Darmanin Vicente née en 1820;ils eu un fils Antoine né en mai 1835 à Vittoriosa qui a eu pour conjoint Elisabeth Casumano née en 1837.

Je me suis rendu à Malte il y aquelques semaines et au cimetière de Vittoriosa,j'ai trouvé deux tombes côte à côte de 'descendants':Mamo et Darmanin!!

Merci de m'aider dans mes recherches

Bonjour Josyane,

Vous m'avez gentiment proposé votre aide pour la recherche des actes de naissance de mes arrière grands parents.

De mon côté j'ai bien écrit (par mail)aux adresses de sites d'église que les diverses administrations m'avaient conseillés.

Je n'ai pas de nouvelles depuis.

Comment puis je faire ?

Je vous remercie pour votre réponse
