David Grech will be discussing family trees and surnames in Gozo during his lecture – Tracing our Roots, in Il-Hagar Museum’s final public talk of the Saturday morning series before Easter.

Following the passing of his grandmother, David decided to embark on a small project to trace his family roots. Little did he know that this endeavour would lead him into the fascinating world of uncovering the historical and cultural significance that shaped Gozo and beyond.

What began as a simple family tree evolved into an in-depth study of Gozitan surnames, the lives of the Gozitan people, and their traditions.

This lecture will explore how interconnected we all are, highlighting the shared heritage that binds our community in ways we often overlook.

The public lecture is this Saturday, the 12th of April, starting at 11:00am. Admission is free, but seat reservations are recommended by sending an email to events@heartofgozo.org.mt
