Giovana Zirilli
An ancestor of Mia and Rocco — generation 6 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. The method →
- rocco arena — The register gives Rocco Arena's mother as SERAFINA ARLOTTA, not Giovana Zirilli. He named a daughter Serafina in New York in 1898, and an Arlotta was lodging with him there in 1900.
The chart still draws the family tree exactly as it was given. This archive does not silently rewrite someone else's research — it marks the edge and shows its working.
What is recorded
Nothing but a name and a place in the family. This person is known only because somebody else's record names them.
Where this comes from
All 2 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 export carries her twice as Orazio Arena's wife: undated here, and as Giovanna Zirilli b. 1827 with a son Guiseppe. Act 46 shows a single couple at Scilla in 1859. The two records have NOT been merged, because surname endogamy at Scilla is common enough that a second wife of the same surname is a real possibility.
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.
