This branch of the Montanaro family moved from Bologna in Italy to Malta and my descent is from Alfred Montanaro who married Caroline Eliza Birch.
Alfred’s Father wrote several letters from Malta to Lord Clarence Paget imploring him to help to arrange for Alfred to be given a post in the Commisariat. In one he even offered to allow his son to work for no pay!
This list was compiled in Brothers Keeper. I can forward a Gedcom
file to anyone who might be interested.
