Where this comes from
3 of the 12 relationships drawn above have been proved by a record this archive has read. The other 9 come from Michael Mazza's family tree and have not.
4 records have been read about them:
- Brisbane Catholic Cemeteries register — plot V-1026 — burial register
- NAA passenger arrivals index — the Toscana, 04 Oct 1949 — passenger index
- Australia Death Notices, 1860-2019 — cited in the tree
- NAA: J25, 1971/1074 — «Mazza, Sebastiano; wife Domenica [nee Prostamo]», 1950-1971 — naturalisation file
THE FILE THE 1959 ELECTORAL ROLL SAID MUST EXIST. Brisbane, paper, and «not yet examined», so it needs an access request before anyone can read it. Its date range covers the whole of their Australian lives to 1971.
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.
