==Migration and notable individuals== The family originated in Castellammare del Golfo, while later households and individuals settled in Williamsburg and western New York. Kinship and birthplace ties linked particular Magaddinos with the [[Castellammaresi network (New York City)|Castellammaresi network]], the [[Bonventre family|Bonventres]], Bonannos and DiGregorios.<ref name="Critchley">David Critchley, [https://books.google.com/books?id=2eCPAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA214 ''The Origin of Organized Crime in America: The New York City Mafia, 1891–1931''] (New York: Routledge, 2009), pp. 214–230.</ref> Those ties do not establish Mafia membership for relatives as a class. Stefano's later leadership of the [[Buffalo crime family]] concerned a criminal borgata, not the genealogical Magaddino family as a whole. * '''Stefano Magaddino''' was identified by historians and law enforcement as leader of the [[Buffalo crime family]] in western New York. He was arrested after Bartolo Fontana accused him in the 1921 [[Good Killers Gang|Good Killers]] case, then released when the evidence was judged insufficient.<ref name="GoodKillers">Thomas Hunt and Michael A. Tona, [https://mafiahistory.us/a014/f_goodkillers.html “The Good Killers: 1921's Glimpse of the Mafia”].</ref> * '''Antonino “Nino” Magaddino''' was arrested in Sicily on a homicide allegation in 1916 and later released; that allegation was not a conviction. Later sources associated him with the Buffalo organization.<ref name="Critchley" /> * '''Pietro Magaddino''' was killed in Sicily in 1916. His death was cited as a claimed motive in the later Caiozzo vendetta, but the reviewed civil and historical records do not independently establish him as a mafioso.<ref name="GoodKillers" />
