Thank you very much, Nicolas. Super interesting insight although I am slightly more confused now ?
I was informed by the Maltese Curia that the Vassallo family “dates to 1647” and that Domenico’s foundation “dates to 1654 with female candidates eligible to marriage dowries.” 98 married women have been listed as recipients of this legacy this year.
I have tried to find it in the Adami records but could not find it. Perhaps I am not searching well. Do you know if I can expect to find it there?
The Geneanum database for notary records has two 1654 testament records for 2 separate Domenico Vassallos (both married, one from Mosta) - could one of them be the founder of this legacy/foundation?
Indeed, the title of Baron Priest sounds strange and I suppose moreso when you consider that created the legacy foundation for female descendants/relatives but maybe this was a possibility? According to MaltaGenealogy, the title was split and a cousin inherited it. Domenico had 2 sisters who were apparently nuns.
As such I am more interested in tracing my link to Domenico at this stage.
Thanks once again!
