Biography

Ciro Cascio is a farmer (agricola), born and baptized on 4 May 1827. He is named after his paternal grandfather. Ciro is the son of Giuseppe Cascio and Giuseppa Saccaro, natives of Corleone. His godparents are Carmelo d'Anna and Giuseppa Colletti, who are not married.

His father, Giuseppe, dies at age 71 (b. 1783) on 30 April 1854.

Ciro marries Gaetana d'Anna (of unknown relation to his godfather) later that year, on 28 November 1854.

His mother, Giuseppa, dies a year later at age 65 (b. 1790) on 26 November 1855.

Ciro and Gaetana have at least seven children together: Giuseppa (1857), two sons named Giuseppe (1860 and 1867), Girolama (1862), Maria Rosa (1865), Leoluca (1871), and Salvatrice (1877).

Note: For a table of Latin baptismal names and their Italian equivalents, and a discussion of naming conventions among the Corleonesi, see the Cascio Family Space.

The first daughter named Giuseppa, after Ciro's mother, is born 13 June 1857 in her parents' home in via Sant'Elena, Corleone. Ciro, age 28 (b. 1829), agricola, reports her birth. Gaetana is 21 (b. 1836). Giuseppa is baptized Josepham the same day. Her godparents are Rephanus (whose name I may have mistranscribed) Rizzotto and Antonia Governali.

The first son named Giuseppe, after Ciro's father, is baptized Josephum on 26 April 1860, the day after his birth. His godparents are Rochus Provenzano and Maria Ligotino.

He dies on 7 August 1860 at three months of age.

Girolama is born at 11AM on 29 October 1862. She is baptized Hieronymam on 30 October, named after her maternal grandmother. Her godparents are Matteo d'Anna and Leoluchina Governali.

Girolama dies on 18 November 1863 at a year of age.

Maria Rosa is born 3 June 1865 and baptized the following day. Her godparents are Jacobus Dragna and Brijita Mangiameli.

She dies on 13 January 1866 at seven months of age.

The second son named Giuseppe is born 1 June 1867 and baptized the next day as Josephum. In this record, the family surname is given as Castro. His godparents are Bernardus Gagliano and Joanna Todaro, a married couple.

Open issue: There is a Church death record for Giuseppa, infant daughter of Ciro and Gaetana, dated 23 August 1868. No corresponding baptismal record has been found. I believe this actually records the death of the second son named Giuseppe. It is fairly common for the death records of infants to get the gender wrong. Also, Giuseppa is known to marry.

Leoluca is born 19 June 1871 and baptized Leonemlucam the next day. His godparents are Antoninus Pirella and Cyra, his sister.

Open issue: There is a Church death record for Leoluchina, infant daughter of Ciro and Gaetana, on 26 December 1872. No corresponding baptismal record has been found. I believe this actually records the death of Leoluca, born the previous year. See the previous open issue.

Salvatrice is born 2 January 1877 and baptized the next day. Her godmother is Carmela Gennaro, who is unmarried. Salvatrice dies at age two on 19 November 1878. Her last name has been left out of this Church death record: a space has been made for a name to be inserted, but it remains blank. I was able to recognize this child from her parents' first names and mother's surname.

Giuseppa marries Giuseppe Mancuso on 5 June 1884. Her parents are living at this time.

Ciro dies in hospital on 11 May 1906 at age 79. His wife Gaetana survives him.^[1]
