Civil Registration started in Malta in 1863. Prior to that, births may be recorded in Parish Records, which started in the 1500s, although few parish records are accessible.
The library in Valletta holds The Adami Collection which is of interest for genealogy purposes, as it has marriages listed from the Parish Registers.
