Biography

Bernardo Cascio is born 18 January 1884 to Domenico Cascio, age 33, agricola, and his wife Filippa Raja, contadina, at 62 via Misericordia, Corleone. He is baptized the same day; his godparents are Rosario Raja and Maria Taimocco. In 1901 at age 17, Bernardo immigrates to the United States with his mother and a sister, Antonina, 10. They join Filippa's parents in New York, where evidently Pietro Raja was the first to arrive. Bernardo's grandmother, Antonina Caruso, and his brother Giovanni (age 7 when he traveled), immigrate in 1900.

Open issue: A margin note on his birth record indicates that Bernardo Cascio will marry Arcangela Arcotta on 27 December 1913.
