Carmella Macri (Zito) Born 12 March 1865. Died 18 August 1929


I'm still learning about this formidable looking woman who was my paternal Grandmother. Carmela Macri married Carmelo Zito on 1 September 1883 at the age of 18. They had 10 children, the 9th being my father Carmine. Carmela was born in 1865 in the Calabrian village of Molochio. Carmela died on the 18 August, 1929 just three years after her son Carmine migrated to Australia.  This is the only photo we have of her.
