Genealogy of the Schettini-Mazzeo Family
of
and related families
Welcome to
this web page. I hope the following information will help us find out whether
we are related. If you can find the name of any of your ancestors in this page,
we are probably family. I’d appreciate any corrections or additions to the
family tree. Please send them to

of the information:
The
following information was taken from the civil registrars from the Circondario
di Lagonegro, comune di Maratea for 1867-1910. The registrars were microfilmed
by the
System used
for the classification:
Each page
represents a different family. My grandparents’ surnames are Schettini
(grandfather) and Mazzeo (grandmother). Therefore, the information related to
these families is the most extensive. However, other surnames such as Conte, Di
Mingo, Migliolo, Fiorillo, Mandesa, Chiapetta, Faraco and Oliva are also
represented in the earlier generations.
Each
individual has a unique classification consisting of a letter (specific to the
surname) and a series of numbers separated by periods. The earlier ancestor of
each family takes the form X1 and his wife becomes X1s (for spouse). Their
children are given the classifications X1.1, X1.2, etc. For example, my great grandfather, Macario Schettini Mazzeo has the
following classification:
M1.2.1.4
that is, a person in the Mazzeo (M) family tree from the fourth generation:
the fourth son of the first son (or daughter) of the second son (or daughter)
of the earliest ancestor.
A note
regarding the use of surnames: In order to make it easier to identify of
specific individuals in the family tree, I have included the maternal surname
following the paternal surname.
