Good evening,
Please forgive me for speaking in English, I hope it doesn't seem rude.
Firstly, I would like to say well done and thank you for the enormous effort in creating the geneanum website. It is really impressive.
I have been doing my own personal research for the last month (when I have time), and I hope I may find some advice here.
My first question concerns the sources given in the database. For example, if you search for the marriage between Gabriele Debono and Imperia Zarb (1718), it says film 7592 photo 779. I do not understand what 7592 refers to, I cannot find this source or marriage in the Adami collection. Could someone explain to me how I would find this source please? I looked manually in the collection for Lija, but I could not see this marriage. I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Also, maybe someone here could confirm something. In the archives: Naxxar, MMML7285, page 27, Franciscus Debono. His mother is 'Maria Vincenza Mallia educata ab Agostino Mallia...' Does 'educata ab' mean she was adopted? I believe she was born in Birkirkara, but I have not yet been able to find any births or marriage for her or her father.... I will keep looking!
And finally, on a slightly different topic, has anyone here had any experience or success tracing Maltese records from Egypt?
John
