[Malte] Marriage Certificate received from Malta!
#1
I am so excited! Today I received in the mail from Malta, the marriage certificate of my great grandparents! I ordered it only 9 days ago and paid 13 Euros.

Thank you so much to all of the people who put together the geneanum.com website. It was there that I was able to find the date of the wedding so that I could order it! I don't know how you find all the information but it must take hours of work to put it all together on this site to share. Thanks to all who are so helpful here in this group as well.

Now I just need to translate some of the wording as it seems to be in another language, maybe Italian?

Italian, of course !

Malta was part of the kingdom of sicily til the treaty of Paris wqs signed 30 may 1814 and italian was still the most spoken foreign language before WW1

I have received 3 certificates from Malta over the last couple of months and its a great feeling when they arrive as you know that you will uncover just a little bit more about your Maltese family of years gone by.  I t might only be the name of a witness or the profession of a parent of your great grandmother but whatever it is it is worth every penny.
With regards to the translation side, it shouldn't be too difficult if you use a translator such as the one on google and a bit of lateral thinking.  You can normally get a good idea of what it should mean.  I have also found that the people on here are very helpful when it comes to translating most things.  
Good luck with all your research and discoveries.

Kind regards...Dave

Hi Josyanne

This is good news! I hope to find more information there about my family. Do you know why they would not list Vittoriosa under locations? I presume I can narrow down the search by location.

OK there are 2 areas where I cannot find translation. For my gg grandfathers, under the 'Profession, trade or other status' line they list:

1)SCRITTURALE

2)MANESCALEO

Does anyone know what these 2 occupations are?

Also, another question. The ages listed on the marriage certificate are different than their ages listed on the baptismal certificate of their son. Which one would likely be more accurate? There is 4 years difference.

1. Scritturale='Scribe' or could also mean 'bookkeeper (accounts)'

2. Maniscalco='Blacksmith'
