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.

Where this comes from

All 4 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.

3 records have been read about them:

What a register says about this person, which the tree does not.

Four Costa gave Scilla as their last residence at Ellis Island and none is Generosa. Her crossing, which the tree dates to 1894, is not in the index under that name.

Indexed as 'Genneroso Arena'. The census makes her thirty in 1900 and married ten years, so born about 1870 and married in 1890. The New York City birth register gives her four more children than the tree has.

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.
