CARANGELO
Genealogy
2/26/04 CARANGELO Genealogy Update: The "missing link," VINCENZO CARANGELO (1796), who fathered the "5 Carangelo Great Grandpas," has been discovered - as well as his father, FABIO CARANGELO (1764) -- in Cerreto-Sannita. See updated CARANGELO NAMES page.
Beginning with our 6 Great-Grandpas:
Mario, Guisseppe, Francesco, Mario, James, Ferdinand
Welcome! This is the Carangelo family. I'm Lori Carangelo, born 4/3/45 in New Haven, Connecticut, and now live in at Palm Desert, California (next to Palm Springs) where I'm a publisher and writer. I've always been interested in my Italian roots. My books include several Italian cookbooks, including ITALIAN TONIGHT! (traditional & exotic Italian recipes from Italian restaurant chefs worldwide).... also The Ultimate Search Book (for finding our relatives in all 50 states & 200 countries), and Chosen Children.
Although I'm the mother of a grown son and a grandmother, I prefer to be known by my beautiful Italian maiden name, Carangelo which means dear angel. There is an angel star, Carangelo, located 49 light years from Earth, in constellation Cepheus (The Crowned King).
So far, it appears that the 6 Carangelo great-grandpas, Mario, Guisseppe (John), Francesco (Frank), Martin, James, and Ferdinand, are probably brothers. But I have yet to find the missing link -- the short Italian fellow who they called Papa. I have documented Giovanni's birthplace as being Faicchio - Benevento, Italy, where his sons, Vincenzo and Domenico, were born also. All 6 brothers must have spent some time in Faicchio - Benevento, because Mario's son, Gaetano (my grandpa, George), and Francesco's son, (Pasquale), were both born in Benevento. Gaetano was born in Cerreto-Sannita, Benevento, and Pasquale in Faicchio - Benevento. Gaetano's wife, (my Grandma Josephine Idarola), was also born in Cerreto-Sannita. So photos of Faicchio and Cerreto-Sannita are displayed on these pages.
The Carangelo families immigrated to America via Ellis Island to New York City. Descendants of the 6 Great-Grandpas settled in New Haven, Connecticut. But Mario's granddaughters, Josephine and Olympia, found husbands in Gloversville, New York. Mario's son, Gennaro, and his descendants were born in New Jersey and Ferdinand's descendants blazed a trail to Massachusetts. Carangelo Genealogy is a work in progress so a link to my e-mail is provided in case you can help solve any missing links (See Missing Links listings at the end), or to correct a listing, or to just to say Hello, cousin!
