In Reply to: Does everyone know about the huge faction of PA Buteras? by Elizabeth Macdonald of 168

Elizabeth, I have all the Sciacca Buteras charted from 1700s on. In fact, Ignazio Butera is in the tree.

CALOGERO BUTERA (Domenico, FrancescoB, DomenicoC) was born at Quartiere Santo Vito, Sciacca, Provincia di Girgenti, Kingdom of Two Sicilies, at 10:00 a.m., 30 May 1850; and was baptized in the Chiesa Madre, 30 May 1850. He died at Norristown, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, after 1920.
He was aged 26, celibe, a contadino, born at and a resident of Sciacca, son of Domenico Butera and Leonarda Pu-leo, when he married at Sciacca, 16 September 1876, VINCENZA MARINO, aged 21, nubile, an industriosa, born at and a resident of Sciacca, daughter of Vincenzo Marino and Caterina Mirabile.
Vincenza Marino was born at Quartiere Olivella, Sciacca, at 8:00 p.m., 9 April 1855; and was baptized in the Chiesa Madre, 9 April 1855. Pasquale Mauceri, aged 54, a massaro; and Vincenzo Carlino, aged 65, a massaro, re-ported her birth.[ ] She died at Norristown, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, after 1920.
Vincenza Marino, aged 50, married, unable to read and write, housewife; and her children, Vincenzo Butera, aged 20, a laborer; Caterina Butera, aged 16; Francesco Butera, aged 13; and Ignazio Butera, aged 6, all born at Sciacca, arrived in New York on 6 July 1906 as passengers aboard the ship U.S.S. Giulia, which departed from Palermo on 20 June 1906. She and her children were South Italian, none of them read nor wrote (except son Vin-cenzo), and their final destination was Norristown, Pennsylvania. Vincenza and Vincenzo paid the passage for themselves and the rest their mother paid for the voyage: she carried $17 with her. They were to meet their hus-band/father, Domenico [sic] Butera, at 410 Mo[o]re Street, Norristown. All were judged in good physical condi-tion.[ ] Vincenzo intended to arrive in America aboard the U.S.S. Sofia Hohenberg, but his name was crossed off, likely because he was to travel with his family.
