Anna Arena
An ancestor of Mia and Rocco — generation 4 above them.
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: 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.

What is recorded
Where this comes from
All 11 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:
The tree puts her crossing to America in 1894, when she was one. The Ellis Island manifest puts it at 23 MAY 1899, aged six, off the Archimede out of Naples -- and on the line immediately above hers is Giavanni Arena, 45, of Scilla. She travelled with him, not with her father, who arrived ten months later as a US citizen.
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.

Photographs
From the family's own tree, contributed by Michael Mazza and relatives. Almost none are captioned — identifications are the most valuable thing you can send.
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 →
