Als ich meinen Stammbaum untersuchte, erfuhr ich, dass einige meiner Vorfahren aus Malta stammten. Dieser Teil der Familie zog später nach Spanien weiter, daher ist der Baum auf Spanisch. Folgendes kann ich verstehen: "Salvador Sidro y Sidro wurde in ??? geboren (Malta) am 10. Oktober 1760". Seine beiden Eltern wurden ebenfalls in Malta geboren, eine Stadt ist jedoch nicht angegeben.
Den Geburtsort (Gomala?) kann ich leider nicht erkennen. Ich wäre für immer dankbar, wenn jemand die Stadt identifizieren oder Hinweise geben könnte!

I’m no expert at reading handwriting but it looks a little bit like Fawara (written as Fawwara). No idea if there were any hospitals in the region or simply marked as a home birth given the period, but at least that’s my best guess

Bormla?
Do you know the parents‘ names? Did they take the surname Sidro as well when they moved to Spain?
ChatGPT thinks Naxxar. But I don’t see it myself there tbf.
Perplexity Pro says Senglea.
Grok says it’s Gomata which shouldn’t mean anything.
The name of Bormla on maps from the Order of St. John era was Bormula. As a port city, this is more plausible, as residents of the inner villages were generally less reluctant to leave their homes.
Dear all, a big thanks for your guidance so far. Bormla does appear to be a good contestant!
Googling around, I found [a local article](http://www.enriquealcalaortiz.com/web/index2.php?pagina=ver.php&id=467) about a grandson of Salvador. The article includes a transcript of his baptismal certificate, which says that the grandfather was from “Gominola” in Malta. The spelling of this name appears consistent with the material I have, but I cannot find anything about this place. Interestingly enough, it means “candy” in Spanish, so it may have been a mistranslation. Does “Gominola” ring a bell by any chance?
