Earliest Delazzaro so far....

A friend of mine did some research for me whilst on her on own genealogy search in Malta.
She came across a record in the Parish church of Senglea of a

Michele Di Lazzaro from Mitolin married Speranza Unknown

on the 22 July 1605 in Senglea.

I searched the net and found that Mitolin was the Latin name for

Mytilene (Greek: Μυτιλήνη - Mytilíni) is the capital city of Lesbos, a Greek island

Again I am endlessly excited by my discoveries.

I have no conclusive proof (yet) but I do honestly believe that this was the first Delazzaro to arrive in Malta.

I never would have thought that there could be a Greek linage in our history.

Greek history and mythology is one of my biggest passions J

Further info also gathered from my friend. It is possible that these baptism records are linked to a brother /male relative of the above Michele Di Lazzaro???

It’s around the same time, ISH!!

. The De/Di seems to be omitted, so I`m not entirely sure that they are of the same family.
