This research is a work in progress, taken from sources of varying reliability. The information should be verified before being relied upon.
| Birth* | Carmela Buscemi was born on 29 March 1883 in Priolo, Siracusa, SicilyG.1,2 |
| Marriage* | She married first (?) Bonazinca by 1903 in SicilyG.3 |

| Her son Stefano 'Bonansinga' emigrated to the US through Ellis Island in 1908 with his uncle Paolo Buscemi and he said he was going to live with his mother Carmela Buscemi at 165 Main St. in new Britain, which is the same address as Paolo Buscemi. So apparently Carmela was already in the country.
When Paul filled out his WW1 draft registration card in Sep 1918 they were living at 15 Broad Street in New Britain and he worked at a 'screw machine' for the Corbin Screw company. He was described as being of medium height with brown eyes and black hair.
When Carmela made her Declaration of Intention for U.S. citizenship in Jan 1943 she was a widow living at 111 Lawlor Street in New Britain. She was described as having a dark complexion, brown eyes, brown hair, five feet tall weighing 174 pounds. She said that she came to this country from Priolo on 24 Feb 1906 on board the ship 'Brasile,' travelling from Naples to New York City. She was still at 111 Lawlor - in apartment 2 - when the 1950 census was taken. Her granddaughter Lena Maietta and her family were living in the same building in apartment 3.7 |
