How our line connects

Not connected to our line yet. No Russo married a man of the Mazza name line or was a parent of one or of his wife: the Russo come into the children's descent through Rocco Arena, whose side meets that line only in its living generations. Concetta Russo is the mother of Giuseppe Arena, the father of Rocco Arena.

Who bears it

4 people, 3 descent groups

A descent group is every bearer of the name who can be reached from one another through parent, child and marriage links between bearers — the rule the Mazza and Arena pages use. Two groups are two groups until a record joins them, however alike their names and their towns.

How it connects

The families it is joined to

Every parent, child or marriage link from one of these people to a person of another surname, as the archive draws it. A living person on the other end is left out. The surname is the other person's, not a claim about their family.

How we know

What rests on a record and what rests on the tree

3 of the 4 have at least one record read for them (Documented); the other 1is known only from the family tree this archive was built from (Family), which cites little and is not evidence. Of the 20 parent, child and marriage links that touch these people, 9 are proved by a register or an index this archive has read; the other 11 come from the tree alone. 1 person has a register reading that disagrees with the tree (Disputed): it is on their own page and the Corrections.

The five words are explained on Method.

Not claimed

That everyone who bears this name is one family. They are gathered here by the name, and a line is drawn between two of them only where the tree or a register draws it. Where this page says "group", it means exactly that and no more.
