Domenico Milone is born around 1877 in Corleone, the son of Pasquale Milone and Giuseppa Stilla.

Domenico marries Giuseppa Armato, daughter of Pasquale Armato and the late Bernarda Colletti, on 20 January 1900.^[1]

Domenico, his wife, his father-in-law, and his sister-in-law, emigrate together in 1906.

A group of travelers from Corleone appear on the manifest of the Nord America, arriving 3 May 1906 in New York:

2. Maria Castro, 21 (b. 1885), single, countrywoman, was going to meet her father Giuseppe Castro at 335 E. 106th St, but has a line through her name indicating she did not sail

3. Francesco Castro, 18 (b. 1888), single, countryman, likewise

4. Domenico Milone, 29 (b. 1877), married, laborer, has $40, is joining his brother Bernardo Milone at 314 W 145th St

5. Giuseppa Armato, 25 (b. 1881), married, housewife, has $15, is joining her uncle Bernardo Milone, as above; she is connected to the next two with a bracket:

6. Pasquale Armato, 67 (b. 1839), widower, laborer, joining his son Giuseppe Giovanni at 235 E 97th St. This is the same address at which Pasquale's daughter, Leoluchina, joined her brother Giuseppe a year previous.

Domenico and his brother-in-law, Giuseppe Armato are both part of Giuseppe Morello's counterfeiting gang. Domenico's niece's husband, Leoluca Vasi, is another family member who is active in Morello's gang.

With counterfeiting associate Luciano Maddi, Domenico owns a store at 236 E 97th St, once owned by Ignazio Lupo.

Domenico and his associates are arrested in November 1909 and indicted on counterfeiting charges.^[3][4]
