(excerpts)
Frans CIAPPARA relied primarily on the Parish Registers (Parish Registers) and the Censuses (Liber Status Animarum) to write a thesis that explores the practices and customs in Malta regarding the three main religious events of life:
Baptism, Marriage, and Burial.
We present three appendices from his work, which may offer additional information for Genealogists:
- Appendix A: Clandestine Marriages (1750 – 1800)
- Appendix F: Cases of Polygamy (1754 – 1785)
- Appendix G: Maltese married to Muslim women, during their captivity (1754 – 1798)
