The mark is the archive's grade for the person (documented, probable, inferred, family, disputed). A «link» mark says where the link itself comes from, and appears only where the archive has tested it. Being on the direct line is the bar at the top of the page, not a grade.

About this record
MARIANO MAZZA'S BROTHER, PROVED BY HIS DEATH ACT. Morti 1855 atto 122 (an_ua72323, image 64, left page; the act's own text, re-zoomed by the session): on 8 December 1855 at nine in the morning died at Piedimonte «Giuseppe Mazza, di anni quarantaquattro, marito di Venera Catalano», born at Piedimonte, bracciale, «figlio di fu Orazio [the first letter is a flourished O, read Grazio by the delegate] e di fu Giuseppa Pulvirenti».Read on
The declarants were Salvatore Barbagallo (44, bracciale) and Giuseppe Pagano (34, bracciale), both of Piedimonte. WHAT THIS SETTLES: (1) the father's name is ORAZIO, as the 1836 table and the 1887 death act of Mariano say, and not Ignazio (the word in the 1836 promise act); (2) Giuseppa Pulvirenti, Mariano's mother, is also the mother of this Giuseppe, so the two households (Mariano and Maria Catalano; Giuseppe and Venera Catalano) are those of two brothers; (3) the 'third household' recorded from the 1836-37 birth tables is NOT unconnected: it is Mariano's brother's. His own marriage is Matrimoni 1836 atto 3 (promise 30 January, wedding 31 January 1836; he was 25; Venera Catalano was born at Macchia and lived at San Basilio; her parents Giovanni and Giuseppa are not those of Mariano's wife, Carlo Catalano and Maria Cardillo, so the two Catalano wives are not sisters). Children known: Santo (b. 1 November 1836, died 6 November 1836), Giuseppa (b. 11 October 1837) and a Giuseppe who died as a child on 27 August 1839 (Morti 1839 row 66); no birth for him is found.
Where this comes from
This person is not in the family's file. They exist here because an act names them, and this archive has read it. The register gives their trade as bracciale. The reading is Piedimonte Etneo, Morti 1855 atto 122 (act, image 64) and row 122 (table, image 77); Nati 1836 row 108 and Nati 1837 row 107 (tables). Nothing on this page comes from Michael's export, which never held them — so there is no tree account here to agree or disagree with, and the pieces the export arrived in do not include them. How many there are →
All 4 of the relationships named above have been proved by a record this archive has read, rather than taken from the family tree.
No record has been read for this person. What is known of them is what the tree asserts, and it is unverified.
Others of the same name
These three towns repeat their names relentlessly — this archive holds four men called Rosario Mazza and four called Giuseppe Arena. These are different people, kept apart on purpose rather than merged into one. Why →
