How our line connects

Not connected to our line yet. No Arlotta married a man of the Mazza name line or was a parent of one or of his wife: the Arlotta come into the children's descent through Rocco Arena, whose side meets that line only in its living generations. Serafina Arlotta is the mother of Giovanni Arena, the father of Giuseppe Arena, the father of Rocco Arena.

Who bears it

8 people, 3 descent groups

A descent group is every bearer of the name who can be reached from one another through parent, child and marriage links between bearers — the rule the Mazza and Arena pages use. Two groups are two groups until a record joins them, however alike their names and their towns.

How we know

What rests on a record and what rests on the tree

8 of the 8 have at least one record read for them (Documented); none is known from the family tree alone. Of the 14 parent, child and marriage links that touch these people, 14 are proved by a register or an index this archive has read; the other 0 come from the tree alone. 1 person has a register reading that disagrees with the tree (Disputed): it is on their own page and the Corrections.

The five words are explained on Method.

The work

What the archive has already written about this name

Serafina Arlotta. Rocco Arena's mother, born about 1830, and his daughter SERAFINA ARENA born in New York in 1898 and dead at seventeen months. Not the same surname, but the same given name deliberately repeated across three generations and two continents -- which is how the archive knew to look.

Not claimed

That everyone who bears this name is one family. They are gathered here by the name, and a line is drawn between two of them only where the tree or a register draws it. Where this page says "group", it means exactly that and no more.
