Abstract: The work of reconstruction involves identifying each and every individual who lived in a specific geographical area together with all his or her kinship. Whenever possible, the exact place of birth and residence is also established. The field of research has been extended further to reconstruct the entire population of Malta in the sixteenth century. In fact besides Birgu, the work has now expanded to Zebbug and Gozo. These two localities have now been reconstructed.The study is now focusing on the population of Zurrieq. Thanks to this very laborious process, each and every individual, who was born in Malta, is put within a historical context by having his or her family traced, starting with the date of birth, marriage and death correctly established.
