Hello Laura, yes there are alot of us Mazzella's on this planet. I think most live in New York or the Bronx. My family originated in Rome (that is where my great grand mother had lived, her last name is Verri)My grand mother was Anna Mazzella. I know that my grand father had meet Anna and moved to Ponza. That is where my father (Frank) and his four other brothers where born. Then my great mother and grand mother decided to take the children by way of ship that brought them to Ellis Island, then they moved to the Bronx. I also am finding alot of information on my Ancestery. If you have any questions and I will see if I can answer them as best I could. Mia Familia Grazi
