The Mazza Archive
195 dated events, 1697 to 2019

The Timeline

Everything this archive can put a year against, in order — and what kind of thing each one rests on. Built from the record files, so a new reading appears here as soon as it is recorded.

119 of these 195 rows are a document somebody read. The rest are the direct line itself, which the family tree asserts and the records have not yet reached — mostly the Prostamo generations at Briatico, where the line runs back to 1697 on the strength of a tree rather than a register. That is being tested →
