The Marriages

Who married whom, and which families came with them. Every surname in this archive is here for one reason — that a person married a person — and this page says which person, for each.

Why this page exists

This archive used to list its 155 surnames with a count against each and claim nothing about any of them. That was honest, and it was also silent: it could not say why those names were here. They are here because a person married a person, and the person graph has known which person all along.

A family is placed by descent, never by spelling. Born a Mazza or descended from one; married such a person; the family that person came from; or married into one of those. 14 carry this family's blood, 17 married one, 50 are such a family, 48 married into one of those, and 26 cannot yet be reached from it at all. Nothing below matches a name against a name: every link walked is a parent, child or spouse edge carried in the data.

The living are named and nothing more. 411 people are held as living: a name and a relationship, no date and no place. Where a family shows no named people at all, every person the archive holds for that surname is living.

Each dot is a person at the year of their BIRTH, not a marriage — this archive holds no marriage dates, and 232 of its people carry a year. Living people are not plotted.

Every couple the archive can name

The spouse links were already in the graph — the families above are read from them — so these marriages were here all along and only the list of them was missing.

What would help

A marriage act. It names all four parents at once, which is the only record that can turn a «married one» into a «came from».
A surname recorded once. Most of the thin entries above are one person who married in and left no further trace. They are kept rather than dropped, because dropping them would quietly make this family look more endogamous than it was.
Anything from the Sicilian and Calabrian side after 1900 — the registers close to the public at a century; the family's own papers do not.
