A family in three migrations, told from the evidence up.

Cronista is a working genealogist's notebook for the Muñiz Pezzotti family — Italian, Scottish-DR, and Cuban-Spanish lines converging on the Cibao region of the Dominican Republic. Every claim cites a source. Every source carries a confidence. Conflicts are named, not flattened.

All ancestral chains in this site lead to a single proband.

The researcher writes —
I am the proband: , generation 0. This site is the documentary half of an ongoing project; a DNA half runs alongside it. I work in the tradition of the Genealogical Proof Standard. What looks like a finished page is, almost always, a hypothesis still standing.
