I am from the United States and I have come to Malta to search for my Maltese family.

My great-grandparents were both born in Malta. Unfortunately, all of my relatives who have been to Malta or have had connections with my cousins in Malta have all passed away, leaving me with no answers as to who my relatives in Malta are.

I hope the following information can help me discover where my family is so that I can visit before I leave the island on Tuesday.

My great-grandfather, Matthew Frendo, was born on August 21, 1896 and died  April 9, 1983.

He was baptised at the Mosta church, having been born and lived on Constitution Avenue. His brother and sister were Alexander and Theresa.

He moved to the US in 1914 and was forced to move because he had gotten in trouble and his brother in-law was going to kill him. I’m not sure about the reasoning.

My grea- grandmother was Marianna Azzopardi. Her father was Salvador Azzopardi and her siblings were Mensrueta, Joseph and Vincent.

I don’t know much about this side of the family because Marianna was given to a wealthy English family at a very young age because her mother could not afford to take care of her.

Any immediate information that you could give me would be greatly appreciated. My e-mail is djglover9@gmail.com.
