Biography

Maria Cascio is born on 30 November 1845 in her parents' home in via S. Giovan Battista, Corleone. She is the daughter of Lucia Sciortino, age 24 (b. 1821), and Liborio Cascio, age 28 (b. 1817), agricola. Her birth is reported by the midwife, Francesca Paola de Luca, 41. Maria is baptized the same day. Her godparents are Teodoro Lisotta and Maria Vintaloro, who are not married.

Maria marries Nicolo' Lanza on 12 January 1868 in the Church, and on 28 March 1868 in the civil office. It is the first marriage for either of them. Their parents are all living.

Maria and Nicolo' have at least four children: Leoluca (1870), Liborio (1872), Salvatrice (1876), and Arcangela (1879).
