Maltese heritage
Paul’s Maltese heritage goes back to his great-grandfather, Angelo. Angelo Saliba (12/12/1873- 1/9/1947), went to Gibraltar in 1888 to find his father who had left his family in Malta and gone to Gibraltar (around 1875). As Gibraltar was only a military colony, he could not stay there and went across the border into Spain to La Línea. He married a Spanish señorita and one of the children was Paul’s grandfather. His name was also Angelo and he too was married in La Línea, also to a Spanish señorita and they had 2 children in Spain, Paul’s father, Antonio and another son. The Spanish Civil War broke out and that was when they moved to Gibraltar. After having three more children, Paul’s grandfather died in Gibraltar in 1957. Paul’s father went to England, worked there for a period and later in 1961 he and the rest of the family migrated to Australia.
Paul is the second of three boys who were all born in Melbourne. Sadly, in 1991, in the middle of Paul’s VCE exams his father passed away when he was hit by a car.
