Orazio Mazza

Of Piedimonte Etneo, Catania, Sicily.

an ancestor of Mia and Rocco a record about them has been read from the family tree, unverified

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 12 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.

The year is untested and the obvious act is somebody else's — NO BIRTH ACT AT PIEDIMONTE IN 1883. The annual index for that year holds MAZZA ROSARIA 117 and MAZZA VENERA 118 and no Orazio at all. There IS an Orazio Mazza born at Piedimonte on 21 October 1877, act 168 -- but his father is the OTHER Rosario Mazza of the town, whose wife is LEONARDA MONACORSO and who lives in via Grotta Nicodemo, where ours is «Rosario Mazza di Mariano» with LEONARDA BONANNO in via San Basilio. UNLOCATED, NOT DISPROVED: 1884 onwards and 1874-1876 are unread for the M section, and the tree's years in this family run five and six out as a matter of course.

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 →
