The Maltese Connection

The Friggieri family in Malta can trace its ancestry back to Giovanni Frigeri (the original spelling) who lived in the mid-17th century. Giovanni’s son Bartolomeo married Angelica Fiteni on August 7, 1679. At that time, the family lived in Zabbar and were mentioned in the very first ‘status animarum’ of 1687. The ‘Frigeri’ line continued with Francesco (b. circa 1680), Lorenzo (b. circa 1702) and Publio (b. circa 1741). Publio lived in Vittoriosa and sired (at least) 13 children. His son Salvatore married Maria Borg on November 28, 1809 and from that union resulted all offshoots of the Friggieri Family resident in Malta, England and Australia. Salvatore and Maria had at least six children, some of whose birth certificates show their surname as Frigieri. The children were Michael (b. 11/9/1810), Rochus (b. 16/8/1812), Lorenzo (b. 26/9/1814), Filippo (circa 1815), Nikolina (b. 3/12/1817) and Maria Dolores (b. 25/5/1821).
