MESSAGE JUSTE RECU

si qq un peut aider ?

j ai l impression que le Annunziato BORG me concerne aussi ??

JOSYANNE

came across your post regarding the Xuereb name. My 3rd great grandmother,
Maria Xuereb married Annunziato Borg and were living in Tunis, Tunisia in 1843.
They had a son, Giuseppe Borg, in that same year. In 1846 they gave birth to my
2nd great grandmother, Margarita Borg, in Balzan, Malta.

I am not certain
if they had originated in Tunisia and then relocated to Balzan or if they had
only temporarily lived in Tunis and then returned to Balzan. There is no
marriage record for them in Malta. And, as of today, I haven't been able to find
a marriage record for them in Tunis. I have only searched one database on-line
for their marriage in Tunis. That link is here:

Last
night I wrote to the Catholic Diocese in Tunis and haven't yet received a reply.
I assume that they were Catholic, although I am not certain.

I'm not sure
of how or where to search next. I read about inquiring at l'Etat-Civil in Tunis,
but also heard several stories of being directed back to the diocese. So I'm not
sure if that would be a waste of time or not.

In summary, Annunziato Borg
and Maria Xuereb probably married in the late 1830s or early 1840s. And, as I
had stated above, there is no evidence of them marrying in Malta.

Their son was
born in Tunis, Tunisia in 1843 and their daughter was born in Balzan, Malta in
1846. I'm aware of any other children, although it's quite
possible.

Would you possibly have any information for my ancestors that
you might be able to share with me? Or, perhaps you might make a suggestion of
how or where I might search next.

Also, it would be very appreciated if
you might be able to lend a little insight on the origin of each surname. I know
Borg is common in Malta, but I don't know from where Borg or Xuereb
originates.

Thank you for any help that you might be able to
provide.

Best regards,

Frank SAMMUT
