Biography
Biagia Orlando is born around 1865 in Prizzi, the daughter of Gioachino Orlando and Rosa Tessitore.
Biagia marries Giuseppe Plescia, son of Giuseppe Plescia and Vita Raia, on 11 November 1888 in his native town, the neighboring Corleone.[1]
Giuseppe and Biagia have five known children: Vita (c. 1890), Rosa (c. 1891), Giuseppa (c. 1897), Giuseppe (c. 1899), and Giacomo (c. 1902).
Giuseppe emigrates at an unknown date.
In 1898, Biagia's half brother, Pietro, joins his uncle Biagio Cortimiglia in White Castle, Louisiana.
Biagia and the children join Giuseppe in Plaquemine, Louisiana, in the United States, in 1905. On the SS Vincenzo Florio sailing from Palermo on 15 April 1905 and arriving in the port of New Orleans, are about 26 passengers from Corleone, including:
14. Biagia Orlando, 40 (b. 1865), married, going to Plaquemine, LA, joining her husband, Giuseppe Plescia
15. Vita Plescia, 15 (b. 1890), single; children going to same destination as mother
