dc.description.abstract | For much social, historical and medical research, a basic tool is the availability of data about the people. Malta is fortunate in the time-span and details of its records. Church records in Malta began in the sixteenth century and the government Public Registry [PR] started in 1863 so that searching for ancestors is possible. The records are complementary, but are also incomplete and frustrating. While in the past much historical research has looked at earlier times, I have assumed that the most useful period is from 1863 when the PR records give the occupation of the parties. The church records give details of consanguinity. Some useful and interesting information is provided with regards to genealogical studies in Malta. | en_GB |
