I am seeking information on the Lauro surname. I have located a few relevant records of my Lauro ancestors in the marriage database below:

Lauro is not a common name in Malta. I have heard that it is interchangeable with Lauron, a French surname. (There are a handful of Lauron's in the Malta database.) My family's oral history reports that they may have been British, but I have uncovered no evidence of this. I do not have any information on where the Lauro's originated. If anyone has any information on the Lauro genealogy or has Lauro ancestry, I'd appreciate any assistance you could provide. To summarize, the ancestor is LAURO, MATTEO. His wife's surname is unclear, variously recorded as DESFUNES/DE FUNES/FUNAS and even ZUREFin the Malta database. Her first name was EMMANUELA. They had at least three children: Maria Concetta was born in Spain (according to her death certificate)and died in Palermo; Francesca was married in Malta; and Giuseppe Maria was also married in Malta. I have found no evidence of any children of Giuseppe Maria or Francesca. Maria Concetta Lauro is my fourth great-grandmother.
Thanks.
