Biography
Justin Cascio is a queer writer and community leader. Raised on Long Island and the Gulf coast of Florida, he's been married twice: once as a woman, once as a man, both times to men named Kevin.
Justin's parents were married in a Roman Catholic church, and baptized both their children as Catholics. Justin's godparents were his paternal uncle and his mother's cousin.
He married for the first time at age 18 and had a son within the year. Justin and his first husband divorced in 1995.
Justin graduated cum laude from the University of South Florida in 1997, with a Bachelors in English, and a concentration in Professional and Technical Writing. He was active in leadership of the USF GLBT Coalition. He transitioned to male in 1999, when he took the name Justin Paul. Justin converted to Judaism through the Reform movement, and was active in the GLBT congregation in St. Petersburg, Beth Rachameem.
Justin's first career after college was in technical writing. While continuing to work in IT, mainly for non-profits in the health care industry, he founded Trans-Health.com, a web based 'zine on transgender health and fitness, with two fellow transgender health activists.
Justin remarried in 2010 to his current husband.
Justin is a former managing editor at The Good Men Project. His nonfiction has appeared at the GMP and elsewhere. He blogs at Mafia Genealogy and One in Six Trans Men (sometimes about genealogy there, too) and administers a 22,000+ member group on Facebook for transgender men. His creative nonfiction focuses on health, identity, and the family, and has been included in two Lambda Literary Award-nominated anthologies.
Justin's genealogical research began with his grandfather's lineage in Corleone, and now focuses on the relationships among mafiosi. He is a regular contributor to his own Mafia Genealogy website and to Informer Journal. IN OUR BLOOD: THE MAFIA FAMILIES OF CORLEONE, a one-place migration study of mafiosi and their families, is his first book.

It's time for a One Name Studies Project check-in!
Could you please advise me which One Name Studies you're still actively coordinating, i.e. maintaining the main study page and associated research pages, and replying to queries/comments from members.
You can respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. I look forward to hearing from you!
If I don’t receive your response within the next three weeks, I’ll assume that your interests have changed or you are no longer able to coordinate any One Name Studies, and you'll be removed from the project.
Regards
Jacqueline Baxter, ONS Project Co-Leader
Can I ask what One Name Studies you are coordinating?
We've put together a survey for you to fill out to check in with you, it will only take a moment as there are only a few questions. Filling out the survey lets us know you are still interested in coordinating your study and provides an opportunity for you to share any suggestions you may have for the project.
If you have decided to step away from your study, please reply to this comment to that effect.
This is Chris from the Italy Project. As part of the annual project check-in, can you fill in the project survey? This will let us know that you are still interested in the project and which teams you'd like to participate in.
Thanks and have a great day!
Regards Margaret, Categorization project volunteer.
We're sad to inform you that the Black Sheep Project is being dissolved. All BSP's subprojects will be moved in pieces under the Notables Project as categories and perhaps as Teams, depending on interest. Witch Trials will become a subproject of Notables.
Your BSP project member badge will soon be removed. If you'd like to join the Notables project, please let one of us know and we'll get you a Notables badge.
Please email either of us if you have any questions and if you'd like to join the Notables project.
Thanks, Susan McNamee & Traci Thiessen ~Co-leaders, Black Sheep Project
I hope you check it out. If I have you down for a team, let me know. If you still haven't decided, feel free to comment. Thanks!
If you would like to join in, please send me a private message with what teams you would like to be on, as well as the email you want to use for the google group. If you use a different email address for trusted list access on WikiTree, please note that as well.
I look forward to hearing back from you!
This is to check in with you about your Blog. Are there any updates?
I’d also like to invite you to join the WikiTree Ambassadors as part of the Bloggers Team.
WikiTree Ambassadors are volunteers who have taken on the mission of spreading the WikiTree Love across a variety of channels. There are five other teams, if you have an interest in any of them in addition to the Blogging team, just let me know:
Hope to hear from you soon!

That's great! If you would like to be a part of the Ambassadors Project, just send me a private message so I'll have your email for the Ambassadors Google Group.

The proper category for people who emigrated from Italy to Massachusetts is Category:Immigrants to Massachusetts from Italy. Or you could use the format "Emigrants from <AdminEntity in Italy> to United States", example: Category:Emigrants from Sicily to United States or "Migrants from <AdminEntity in Italy> to <State>", ex.: Category:Migrants from Sicily to New York. Please see Space:Migration_Category_Structure. This policy was officially approved by the community (G2G) over one year ago, consequently, categories of the type "Italian Immigrants.." "Italian Emigrants.." are no longer allowed to remain. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

I've been reorganizing the categories for the Italy Project and I've noticed that you had some people in Campania that should be nested in a new Category. I put most of your profiles in this category: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Quindici%2C_Avellino I was wondering if you could add your non-open profiles to that category as well. It would be a big help.
Thanks in advance! Feel free to message me here if you have questions. I will do the best I can to answer them.
Thank you so much for responding to our check-in. We are delighted that you wish to continue contributing to the Project Name. Below is a quick checklist for active members. The project leaders would like you to make sure you have done the following:
1) Checked the Project Page for ways to contribute.
2) Added Project TAG to the tags you follow.
Thank you!
