Parish of St George
Centuries of history, now searchable online. Digitized parish records from the 1600s enabling families worldwide to discover their Gozitan ancestry.
Four Centuries of History
The Parish of St George holds an invaluable treasure: handwritten records of marriages, baptisms, and funerals dating back to the 1600s. For over four hundred years, every significant life event in the parish was carefully documented by hand — births welcomed into the faith, unions blessed before God, and lives commemorated in death.
These fragile documents contain centuries of family history, but accessing them required physical visits and manual searching through deteriorating pages. Many families had no way to trace their Gozitan ancestry.
