Questions on legacies and marriage dowries - angelas21 - 21-06-2022 Hello all, I have a few questions regarding legacies and marriage dowries in Malta. Has anyone on this forum had experience with legacies issues by the Curia? I just want to ask, what is the process like? How does the Curia decide to distribute the legacies of a particular person and do they provide any documents that could identify the ancestor who created the legacy? Of course, I have sent all these questions to the Curia and am awaiting their reply. In the meantime, since I am curious about the process itself, if anyone can share some general information on what legacies are and how they work, it would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

In attachement, I add the 41 pages of the inventory.   Inventory.pdf (Taille : 5.28 Mo / Téléchargements : 5) On it, we have the list of the children, I read Francesco, Leonora, Clarissa, Michele. Only Michele is an adult. So we can found few pages later, that Manfredo MELLIOPATI, brother of Arcangelo had been the tutors of the 3 teenagers. After that, 36 pages listing the inventory. ----- By "legacies", you mean Beneficio / Gius Padronato ? There is many transcriptions in the volumes 60 to 83 in Adami Collection And Adami used them to create trees.  I add an example :    Beneficio.pdf (Taille : 3.18 Mo / Téléchargements : 6) So yes, I supposed they had to provide some proof like birth certificate, ...
