Antonino Polistena
Of Scilla, Reggio Calabria.
Every relationship drawn here comes from the family tree, and not one of them has yet been proved by a record. That is the honest state of this archive for this person: the chart shows what Michael Mazza's tree asserts, and the colour tells you only whether anything at all has been read about the person at the other end.

What is recorded
A register contradicts what is written above. The lines in this block are the family tree's account. One reading taken from the original acts disagrees with it — what the registers say →
Where this comes from
All 10 of the relationships drawn above come from Michael Mazza's family tree, and none of them has been proved by a record this archive has read.
2 records have been read about them:
- NAA passenger arrivals index — the Surriento, 17 Jun 1949 — passenger index
- NAA passenger arrivals index — documented
Port — Embarked at NAPLES, on the Surriento.
Where the two disagree, the chart above still draws the tree as it stands. This archive does not silently rewrite what it was given — the acts are here.
