Hello John,
I like your framing as being driven by the records -demanding attention. I'll have to use that line. HA Ha.
I'm happy to recommend the genealogist I use. His name is David Lanfranco. The family have been doing this work for many years. I have seen some posts where people complain that he does not get back to them. I've never had this problem. But maybe it's because my cousin and I first engaged him in person when we were in Malta in 2017. Although others also speak highly of him. I'm happy for you say I recommended him, although I have no idea if I hold any sway. "Theresa Grima from Australia". Here's link to the site http://www.genealogyservicesmalta.com/
Start by providing him with the basics of what you have. Birth, Marriage, Deaths. And then be specific about what you want from him. They generally charge a fee based on an event, one marriage cost set amount. They have a massive private collection of archives.
Also, have you checked out the Archdiocese Archives? It takes a while to work out how to use it. And then you just need patience and time to search. And work out key Latin terms. http://archives.maltadiocese.org/ One of the challenges is that the records for some parishes are listed with another parish depending on when the event occurred.
Geneanet has two levels. Free and paid. The paid option is not that expensive.
All the best with your search.
Theresa
