As The Name puts it. A surname is a label, not a family: the lines below are the ones this archive can draw, and no others.
14 people, 7 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.

What rests on a record and what rests on the tree
4 of the 14 have at least one record read for them (Documented); the other 10are known only from the family tree this archive was built from (Family), which cites little and is not evidence. Of the 41 parent, child and marriage links that touch these people, 4 are proved by a register or an index this archive has read; the other 37 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.
