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. The method →

One or more of the lines above is contradicted by a record this archive has read.
  • rocco arena — The register gives Rocco Arena's mother as SERAFINA ARLOTTA, not Giovana Zirilli. He named a daughter Serafina in New York in 1898, and an Arlotta was lodging with him there in 1900.

The chart still draws the family tree exactly as it was given. This archive does not silently rewrite someone else's research — it marks the edge and shows its working.

Where this comes from

All 1 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:

What a register says about this person, which the tree does not.

The export carries her twice as Orazio Arena's wife: undated here, and as Giovanna Zirilli b. 1827 with a son Guiseppe. Act 46 shows a single couple at Scilla in 1859. The two records have NOT been merged, because surname endogamy at Scilla is common enough that a second wife of the same surname is a real possibility.

Duplicate record — Almost certainly one woman entered twice. NOT merged here, because surname endogamy at Scilla is common enough that a second wife of the same surname is genuinely possible -- the 1913 marriage index alone has Bueti marrying Bueti and Vizzari marrying Vizzari. NOTE: whichever way that resolves, neither Zirilli record should carry Rocco or Giuseppe as a child -- they belong to Serafina Arlotta.

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.
