How our line connects

Not connected to our line yet. No Ventrice married a man of the Mazza name line or was a parent of one or of his wife: the Ventrice come into the children's descent further back. Giovanna Ventrice is the mother of Alfonso Prostamo, the father of Francessco Prostamo, the father of Domenica Prostamo. Domenica Prostamo married Sebastiano Mazza.

Who bears it

4 people, 2 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 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 11 parent, child and marriage links that touch these people, 5 are proved by a register or an index this archive has read; the other 6 come from the tree alone.

The five words are explained on Method.
