Leoluchina Vutera is born 21 January 1885 in Corleone, the daughter of Francesco Vutera and Francesca Spatafora, and baptized the next day. Her godparents are Francesco Ferrara and Antonina Saccaro, a married couple.^[1] Leoluchina is named after her maternal grandmother.

Leoluchina marries Paolo Fucarino, son of the late Felice Fucarino and Giuseppa Lupo, born in Prizzi and a resident from childhood, on 18 September 1904 in Corleone.^[2]

On the Hamburg, departing Naples on 18 October 1907 and arriving on 1 November 1907 in New York, these passengers from Corleone appear together on the manifest:

21. Paolo Fucarino, 29 (b. 1878), married, connected with a bracket to line 22. He leaves his uncle Paolo Lupo in Corleone. (Lupo's wife, Maria Rosa Vutera, is Leoluchina's aunt.) He is going to Chicago, IL. He paid for his own and his wife's tickets. They are joining her brother Giuseppe Vutera at 134 Gault St.

22. wife Leoluchina Vutera, 22 (b. 1885)

Leoluchina and Paolo have three children: Giuseppa/Josephine (1909) Philip/Felice (1911), and Francis (1913).^[4]

Leoluchina Vutera and Paulo Fugarino have a son, Philip or Felice, is born 20 May 1911^[4] and baptized 11 June 1911 in Chicago. Felicem is crossed out and replaced with Philip. Fugarino, the father’s surname, has also been replaced with Furino, but this is not correct. The godparents are Joseph and Maria Zabia. Felice Fugarino marries Julia Linklater on 15 February 1941.^[6]

Their youngest child is Francis, born 8 April 1913 in Chicago.^[4]

Leoluchina has died by 1919, when Paolo travels with their three children back from Sicily on the SS Cretic.^[7][4]
