I believe that Calogero and Giuseppa married before of 1877 because in the marriage index of
1877 https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/T ... 1535464038
1878 https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/T ... 1535464038
1879 https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/T ... 1535464038
1880 https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/T ... 1535464038
no records..

Yes Biago was the oldest son and was born May 1875. I noticed in the marriage index from 1877 Mariano Domina-Coseno Geraci. Could this be a brother to Calogera marrying a sister to Giuseppa?

It is a bit strange; Calogero and Giuseppa married in 1876.
But the oldest son was born in Petralia Sottana in 1875:
Ascenzio Biagio Domina born in Petralia Sottana (Castellana village, hamlet of Petralia Sottana on 23 may 1875 #117 son of Calogero Domina and Giuseppa Geraci his wife... but they married in 1876... so it is a mystery... why they married in 1876..

Yes this seems to be him...he was known as Biaggo in the 1910, 1920 census. He settled in south louisiana and was married to Luccia Rossignole. My parents also referred to him as Biaggo.

yes.. it is the right Biagio, he was called just Biagio in USA, because I believe that Ascenzio first name was a bit hard to pronounce for american peoples!
