Released Slavery who married at Mdina, Malta during 1560 to 1764.

Last Update: 15-02-2024.

With all released slaves, the surname of adoption is always used with “de or di” to show difference. Though their offspring’s don’t carry “de or di” after their surname. I am very interested in any connection found to these listed here. Most likely these released slaves were of Northern African descent especially from the late 17th century.

If you find a connection, please do email. Always happy to help as long as you can provide the lineage.
