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.

Where this comes from

All 5 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.

1 record has been read about them:

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

Record attached to the wrong man — a namesake three generations down — REMOVED. That Mariano is a son of the ORAZIO MAZZA BORN 1883, who is himself a son of Rosario Mazza -- so he is Rosario's grandson, born in the twentieth century, and cannot be the Mariano who declared Rosario's birth in 1845. The real man now has a row of his own as «Mariano Mazza (b. c. 1809)», with MARIA CATALANO beside him. THE RULE THIS ARCHIVE ALREADY WROTE AND THEN BROKE: a slug that matches a name is not the person the act names -- check the birth year, the birthplace, the spouse or a child before attaching anything.

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.

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 →
