Angelo Raffaele Garofano, a resident of Mansfield Massachusetts

Montemiletto

On July 4, 1888 Angelo Raffaele Garofano was born in Montemiletto. His parents were Carmine Garofano and Maria Teresa Gubitosa. Angelo's brothers were Saverio and Giuseppe. His sister was Antonia.
Garofano Family Tree

The Italian government introduced conscription in 1907, which may have been the impetus for Angelo's service as a cavalryman in the Lancieri di Milano (7).
Angelo Raffaele Garofano, lancieri di Milano (7)

When Angelo registered for the draft in the United States during World War I he reported his Italian military service as a soldier in the cavalry for twenty months.
Draft Registration, World War I

Leaving his wife Maria (Musto), sister of Angelo Beniamino Musto, and young daughter Teresa behind in Montemiletto, Angelo sailed from Naples on April 10, 1912 on the S.S. Canopic.
S.S. Canopic Passenger List, see line 5

He arrived in Boston, Massachusetts on April 23.
Certificate of Arrival

Sometime prior to the 1920 Census, Angelo and Maria purchased a home on Pratt Street in Mansfield, Massachusetts, where they raised their daughter Teresa and four more children who were born in Mansfield.

Angelo Garofano passed away on September 27, 1955 as reported in a September 29th obituary in the Boston Globe (pg. 34):
GAROFANO - Of Mansfield, Sept 27,

Religious Statue Unveiled

New York Tribune: 6 Oct 1919, p.9

Updated:A statue of the Blessed Virgin and Child, pronounced by connoisseurs to be the most artistic sculpture of the subject in America, was unveiled yesterday afternoon in the Roman Catholic Church of St. Vincent Ferrer, Sixty sixth Street and Lexington Avenue.
The statue if of alabaster and onyx marble, greater than life size, and was donated by a parishioner who does not wish his identity disclosed.  Lee O. Lawrie was the sculptor.
The Very Rev. J.R. Hefferman, 0. P., pastor of St. Vincent Ferrer's, chose three little girl pupils of his parochial school, daughters of the poorest families in the parish to unveil the figure. The Rt. Rev. John T. McNicholas, Dominican Bishop of Duluth, blessed the statue. The Rev. J. B. O'Connor preached the sermon. Ardolino Brothers did the carving on the statue. A solid silver crown set with jewels surmounts the figure of the Virgin. It cost $2,500.

Being Florida residents and annual passholders for Disney World, my wife and I often go for a day of fun and relaxation. We usually go when they are having a special event such as the Flower Festival, Wine Tasting, Halloween, and Christmas to name a few. I also have done some genealogy there; have you ever seen the genealogy of Donald Duck? That's for another time... Yesterday we went to see the Christmas trees and decorations at Epcot and Hollywood Studios and I'd like to share a couple of pictures that I took. The pictures I take I often put to annimation and music. You can view this years Flower Festival here.

Lifestyle and Longevity: Tradition and Timelessness

Submitted by Carole:
     I am a person proud to trace my maternal heritage to the adjoining villages of Torre le Nocelle and Montemiletto, Avellino and in recent years have been following up on many immigrants from these villages who settled in the North End of Boston, Massachusetts.
     After recording perhaps a hundred obituaries for Campanesi and their descendants who located in this area, it became apparent to me that MANY of them were blessed with exceptionally long lives, even after they came here.
     One day, at my local library, a book prominently displayed caught my eye. Immediately, I wondered “is that place anywhere near where my people came from? It turns out that while in another Province, it is very close to the land where many of our forebears made their homes.
     This remarkable book is called: A Year in the Village of Eternity by Tracey Lawson (2011, Bloomsbury USA, NY). Sub-titled A Lifestyle of Longevity in Campodimele, Italy, this is a memoir, cultural history, cookbook and all-around fascinating account of the author's lengthy visit to a place where the average lifespan for both men and women is currently 95 years. The Italian average, it is reported, is 77.5 for men and 83.5 for women, so clearly there's something unusual going on here.
     Indeed, the World Health Organization has investigated this remarkable locale, where scientists have found unusually low blood pressure and cholesterol levels across several generations.
     Located in the Province of Latina in the Lazio region, midway between Rome and Naples on the Tyrrhenian Sea, the commune's name derives from campus mellis, or field of honey. This, the author says, “is the region which cultivated the bees that brought honey to the tables of the Roman Empire.”
     But it's the tables of today that fascinate this writer: her premise is that local residents live well and long due to their diet and lifestyle habits. “In Campodimele,” she writes, “the seasons and the bounty of the land dictate the food on the table, and each month brings its own traditions of harvesting and foraging, cooking and preserving.”
     The emphasis is on food locally grown with no chemicals, harvested at the peak of perfection, simply prepared and eaten fresh. Food preservation, an important feature in the year-long cycle, is done in the most natural of ways possible.
      The villagers welcomed the author into their midst, sharing recipes handed down from generation to generation; more than 100 are recounted (with some small modern adaptations) in pages illustrated with gorgeous color photographs of food, communal gathering and preparation, local vistas and people in their 70s and 80s living vital, active lives.
     The chapters are divided into twelve months, each focusing on seasonal bounty and traditional (and often multi-generational) means of cooking and preserving.
In these pages, it seems “one can learn secrets not only of living longer, but of living every moment to the fullest.”

Free ancestry.com collection available

The following announcement was written by Ancestry.com:
The Collection includes the most comprehensive set of WWII Navy Muster Rolls ever released online and exclusive Pearl Harbor veteran records

PROVO, UTAH
– (December 2, 2011) – In remembrance of the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, which marked the United States’ entrance into World War II, Ancestry.com (Nasdaq: ACOM), the world’s largest online family history resource, today announced it is offering six days (December 2-7) of free access to its entire World War II Collection. One in five Americans is a direct descendant of a WWII veteran, with four out of five having a WWII veteran in their families, according to research done by Ancestry.com[1]. The Pearl Harbor attack spurred millions of Americans into military action. By the end of the war, nearly 16 million Americans had served in the U.S. Armed Forces - more than a quarter in the U.S. Navy.
Highlighting the World War II Collection is the release of the World War II Navy Muster Rolls (1939-1949), which includes more than 33 million records detailing nearly all enlisted personnel who served aboard a U.S. Navy ship between January 1939 and January 1949, including more than 2,400 Americans who were killed in the attack on Pearl Harbor. Muster Rolls provided quarterly reports of personnel assigned to a ship, duty station or other activity. These reports noted sailors who experienced significant changes in status, such as promotions, transfers, leave or time in the infirmary. In addition to all enlisted men, the Navy Muster Rolls also include selected officers, female officers of the Army and Navy Nurse Corps, wives and daughters of Navy personnel and civilians. Nearly anyone searching for a family member who was enlisted in the Navy during this time period should be able to find their records in this collection. These new U.S. Navy Muster Rolls and the entire World War II collections can be found at www.ancestry.com/pearlharbor.

Archives recognizes that DNA testing plays a critical role in family history research, and is glad to offer a simple, convenient way for  users to get started with genetic genealogy.

Archives Director of Product Joe Godfrey commented, “Genetic genealogy is an extremely exciting field. We’ve been interested in integrating DNA testing into Archives.com for some time, and I’m glad we are working with Family Tree DNA, the world’s largest genetic genealogy database, to make this happen.
