I am going to try again.

I am researching the above names.

CARRARA from Brescia

Esther CARRARA was born June 7, 1890 (I think in Brescia) and died in USA
in March 1970

Anna CARRARA born in 1893.( I think Anna was born in the USA)

John CARRARA born in 1878 (do not know the relationship)

Constanza CARRARA born in 1876( do not know the relationship)

Her parents names were : Serafino CARRARA (born 1839) and Domenica
DOMENIGINI (?spelling) or MENIGHINI (born 1850)

I figure they came to America between 1890 and 1893. I have been unable to
prove that Esther was born in Brescia as I do not have a parish name. I am
hoping that passenger lists will tell me if Esther was indeed an infant
coming to America. Her daughter said she was born there but Esther's
request for a social security card states she was born in Bunola,
Pennsylvania USA. Her daughter says that Esther came to America with her
parents as an infant.
There are not records of her becoming an American citizen however she was
repatriated in 1946 for some unknown reason.

Her husband Vincent BONACCI never became a US citizen and worked as a tailor
with a green card.

BONACCI from San Mango d'Aquino in Catanzaro, Calabria and also from
Martirano

Vincenzo Virgilio BONACCI born in San Mango d'Aquiino 1883 died in
Pennsylvania in 1954

Giacinto BONACCI born in San Mango born August 3, 1894 died in Pennsylvania,
USA June 30, 1971

Brother John, birth date and place unknown

And an Unknown brother killed in the war

Fathers name Virgilio BONACCI and Mother's name Maria ADAMO

I have no other information on this part of the family.

Can anyone out there help me in any way. I do not know the exact year they
came to America. I am trying to find out if there are still living relatives
in Italy.
