My Pusateri Lineage
submitted by
This is a work in progress. It will be constantly changing as new information is discovered and the additions are recorded. At this point in time (January 6, 2001), I have been able to trace my paternal Pusateri lineage backward in time to the year 1882. This chart currently shows that I am of the 4th generation in a recognizably direct genealogical line. The asterisks identify the number of each generation preceding me. I am identified with a single asterisk (*). The line is as follows:

+ = Because the Zucchero/Passafiume/Pusateri/Sineri families were so closely allied, it seems appropriate to identify the possible lineage of Augustine Vincent Sineri. I have been able to trace that lineage to Vincent Augustine Sineri (1750-1849). His son, Salvatore Giuseppe Sineri (identified in varied sources as “the Duke of Caccamo”) was born in the early 1780’s. I have not been able to find a listing for his wife. Salvatore’s son Vincienzo Sineri married Agatha Natale (no dates for either). They had two children: Monica (who became a cloistered nun) and Giuseppe (who married a Giusephina Passafiume). To date, I have found no dates for this generation. Giuseppe and Giusephina had at least two children: Agatha (no data) and Augustine Vincent Sineri (b.1866). This is the gentleman who married Maria Pusateri, sister to my paternal grandmother, Anna Pusateri Zucchero. The Sineri’s had nine children (all of whom would have been first cousins to my father and his siblings): Joseph Paul Sineri (1897-1978); Jasper Raymond Sineri (1905-1996); John A. Sineri (1913-1978); Anna Sineri (1916-1921); Frances Sineri (?-?); Mary Sineri (?-?); Rose Sineri (?-?); Josephine Sineri (?-?); and Agnes Sineri (?-still living).
++ = After his arrival in the USA Joseph Zuccaro and his siblings changed the spelling of their name to Zucchero.
+++ = Nancy and William Zucchero were the parents of Peter Galen Zucchero (1958-1958), Wendy Lee Zucchero (b. 1959), Robin Lee Zucchero (b. 1961), and William Wynn Zucchero (b. 1967). Wendy married Kenneth R. Overly (b. 1961). They have a daughter, Kelsey Wynn Overly (b. 1995). Robin Lee Zucchero married Sean Patrick Coleman. William Wynn Zucchero married Laurie Claire Scott (b. 1973). They have a son, Peter Scott Zucchero (b. 1997).
++++ = Sherill and William Zucchero were the parents of Amy Marie Zucchero (b. 1974).
