A heartfelt message from Prince William accompanied a new photo of the Princess of Wales released by Kensington Palace today. To the most incredible wife and mother. The strength you’ve shown over the last year has been remarkable. George, Charlotte, Louis and I are so proud of you. Happy Birthday, Catherine. We love you. W pic.twitter.com/VIW5v2aKlu — The Prince and Princess of Wales (@KensingtonRoyal) January 9, 2025 The social media posts were shared to mark the Princess’s 43rd birthday. The black and white photo was taken by Matt Porteous last summer in Windsor. Mr. Porteous shared a personal message on his Instagram page. It was just seven days after her 42nd birthday when the Princess was admitted to the hospital for serious abdominal surgery last year—more from this Daily Mirror story by Russell Meyers.  She spent nearly two weeks in the London Clinic after undergoing the major operation, and was recuperating at home when she was told she had cancer and had to begin chemotherapy. The royal family is hoping for a better 2025 after what William described as a ‘brutal’ and probably “the hardest year” of his life, with his father, the King, also diagnosed with the disease. In a video released in September, the princess announced that she had completed her chemotherapy treatment. Below is a frame from that video. In his story for People, Simon Perry reports the Princess “is spending the day at home at Adelaide Cottage, Windsor with her husband Prince William and children Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, who returned to school after the Christmas break on Jan. 8.” Buckingham Palace also posted birthday sentiments on its Royal Family social media accounts, sharing a photo from Christmas Day.   Happy Birthday to The Princess of Wales! 🎂 pic.twitter.com/AaLOjsbOPn — The Royal Family (@RoyalFamily) January 9, 2025 The Westminster Abbey bells rang for the Princess. The Abbey bells are ringing out to celebrate the birthday of HRH The Princess of Wales. Our bell ringers are ringing 543 changes of Stedman Caters followed by a course of London Surprise Royal. pic.twitter.com/bOM5cWNLgj — Westminster Abbey (@wabbey) January 9, 2025 There were many social media posts sharing good wishes for the Princess.  We would like to wish HRH The Princess of Wales and Royal Honorary Air Commodore of RAF Coningsby a very happy birthday. pic.twitter.com/iBT96N4fWS — RAF Association (@RAFAssociation) January 9, 2025 This one is from the Welsh Guards.  Happy Birthday to Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales! From all of us at the Welsh Guards, we wish her joy, peace, and success in 2025. Her dedication to the Armed Forces inspires us all. Cymru Am Byth@KensingtonRoyal pic.twitter.com/RItp0maY2n — Welsh Guards (@Official_1WG) January 9, 2025 This post is from Evelina London Hospital.  Happy Birthday to our Patron, HRH The Princess of Wales. We are so grateful for the many ways @KensingtonRoyal has supported children, young people, families and colleagues connected to Evelina London. Find out more: pic.twitter.com/xAdbPnzn49 — Evelina London (@EvelinaLondon) January 9, 2025 Here is one from one of the Princess’s first patronages, EACH (East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices). Happy Birthday to our Royal Patron, HRH The Princess of Wales! 🥳 We’re so grateful for her incredible support over the years. Wishing her a fantastic day! 💜 pic.twitter.com/9FZcIL419h — EACH (@EACH_hospices) January 9, 2025 In this image shared by Billie Jean King, you see the then Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at the 2021 Wimbledon Ladies’ Single’s Final.  Sending our best wishes for a very happy birthday to HRH, Catherine, the Princess of Wales. pic.twitter.com/p05r8kWTha — Billie Jean King (@BillieJeanKing) January 9, 2025 Many will recall the formal photo portraits taken to mark her fortieth birthday.  Photographer Paolo Roversi shot three images, all featuring the Princess in Alexander McQueen designs. Photos have not always been released to mark the Princess’s birthdays—more from this piece in The Times.  In a break with palace tradition, a new picture of the Princess of Wales has been released to mark Kate’s 43rd birthday as her husband praised his “incredible” wife’s “remarkable” strength. The release of a previously unseen picture from Kensington Palace breaks with tradition as a date that is not a “milestone” birthday would not typically be marked in this way. However, the prince alluded to the fact that it has not been a typical year for his wife. Thoughts on the photo from The Telegraph’s Rebecca Cope.  With her hands in her pockets and looking away from the camera, the picture shows Kate looking relaxed and happy in faded dark jeans, a white blouse with pleated bib detail, black jacket and scarf, with only her sapphire engagement ring to accessorise the look. The styling is particularly chic, with her sleeves rolled up and top button undone. The scarf, a gingham check with a short fringed hem, rests on top, giving it a lived-in look that doesn’t look too studied – quite different from the way we see her on engagements, where every sartorial detail is carefully considered. Now for a look at what Kate wore in this year’s birthday photo.  The Princess is in a pair of dark-wash jeans that I haven’t been able to identify, nor can I tell which jacket or blazer she has on in the photo. Middleton Maven suggests the scarf she is wearing could be the Gingham Check Stole ($145 – $315) by Scottish retailer Brora, a brand we know the Princess wears. It isn’t easy to see in the photo, but the Princess’s shirt has a tuxedo-style pleated bib, or bodice. Middleton Maven notes the shirt is similar to Frame’s Standard Tuxedo Shirt, but it’s impossible to say it is this style without more photos.  Middleton Maven points out this is likely the shirt the Princess wore when visiting a Ukrainian support hub in October 2023, and I think she is spot-on in that assessment. If I learn anything more about the ensemble, I will update the post.  +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Also today, a quick note about a new earring style from jewelry company Ear Sass. You may remember the brand from when the Princess wore the Ear Sass Issy Star Earrings ($33) in October 2023. The earrings were a gift to the Princess from Sarah Renton; they were created in memory of her daughter, Issy, who took her life earlier that year. They were designed by Issy’s cousin, Sophie McGown, the jewelry company’s founder and designer. They are sold at Ear Sass as a fundraiser for mental health charity Brave Mind, and thus far, almost £17,000 has been donated to Brave Mind. The brand is offering another pair of earrings, also a fundraiser for Brave Mind. The Catherine Earrings ($34) launched today in honor of the Princess’s birthday.  Here you see EAR SASS founder and designer Sophie McGown, Issy’s cousin, wearing the Catherine earrings.  The hoop earrings feature delicate pink beads and are offered in 14K gold plating on sterling silver. More on the earrings from the Ear Sass site. These stunning earrings are dedicated to The Princess of Wales Catherine for her incredible support in helping us raise over £17k for our chosen mental health charity Brave Mind. The princess wore the Issy Star earrings on World Mental Health Day 2023 to honor my cousin Issy, who tragically took her life. To say it meant the world to us as a family would be an understatement. It wasn’t just that she wore the earrings—it was the way she did it, with the utmost compassion and thoughtfulness. The reason why Catherine wearing the earrings on World Mental Health Day was so significant is that she didn’t just wear them at any time—she chose to wear them on this day to honour  Issy and raise awareness about mental health. She used that moment to tell the world how much she cared and to show how deeply she supports others. Catherine’s kindness and support have been nothing short of remarkable, and her gesture will forever hold a special place in our hearts.   (function(d, s, id) var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.0"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); (document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); Source link

A heartfelt message from Prince William accompanied a new photo of the Princess of Wales released by Kensington Palace today. To the most incredible wife and mother. The strength you’ve shown over the last year has been remarkable. George, Charlotte, Louis and I are so proud of you. Happy Birthday, Catherine. We love you. W pic.twitter.com/VIW5v2aKlu — The Prince and Princess of Wales (@KensingtonRoyal) January 9, 2025 The social media posts were shared to mark the Princess’s 43rd birthday. The black and white photo was taken by Matt Porteous last summer in Windsor. Mr. Porteous shared a personal message on his Instagram page. It was just seven days after her 42nd birthday when the Princess was admitted to the hospital for serious abdominal surgery last year—more from this Daily Mirror story by Russell Meyers.  She spent nearly two weeks in the London Clinic after undergoing the major operation, and was recuperating at home when she was told she had cancer and had to begin chemotherapy. The royal family is hoping for a better 2025 after what William described as a ‘brutal’ and probably “the hardest year” of his life, with his father, the King, also diagnosed with the disease. In a video released in September, the princess announced that she had completed her chemotherapy treatment. Below is a frame from that video. In his story for People, Simon Perry reports the Princess “is spending the day at home at Adelaide Cottage, Windsor with her husband Prince William and children Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, who returned to school after the Christmas break on Jan. 8.” Buckingham Palace also posted birthday sentiments on its Royal Family social media accounts, sharing a photo from Christmas Day.   Happy Birthday to The Princess of Wales! 🎂 pic.twitter.com/AaLOjsbOPn — The Royal Family (@RoyalFamily) January 9, 2025 The Westminster Abbey bells rang for the Princess.

Did Angelo LanFranchi come to the U.S. to avoid the draft?
The Society of American Archivists recently wrote, in promoting Margot Note's new book, Creating Family Archives, that "family history is important" with photos, videos, aged documents, and cherished papers, saying "and they need a better home than a cardboard box," adding that "gathering up the boxes of photos and years of video is a big job." I can't agree more, which is why I am putting together this post.
On September 6, 1896, in Casola, a town in Parma, within Italy's Emilia-Romagna region, my great-grandfather, Angelo LanFranchi, entered the world with shining eyes. [1] While we don't know much about his parents, his mother was undoubtedly Adelaide, with a likely last name of Berte. While there is no doubt that his father had the surname of LanFranchi, his first name is in dispute. Some records, like Angelo's  passenger record call him Giuseppe, while others call him Francesco. In any case, Angelo had five siblings back in 1896: 14-year-old Francesco, seven-year-old Marietta "Maria" Louisa, seven-year-old Giuseppina "Pina," nine-year-old Barbara, and two-year-old Angelina (also named Angiolina or Angela).
originally posted on the WordPress version of this blog on Jan. 11, 2020
In later years, he would have two more sisters: Rosina in 1903 and Elena, with an unknown year of her birth. Of these siblings, four of them immigrated to the U.S.: Francesco, Maria, Angelina, and Barbara. Angelina married two times, having one child with her first husband, whose name is not currently known, and six children with her second husband Ettory Bertolo (1886-1974): Secondnina "Nina" (1914-2010), Frank (1917-2009), Peter "Pete" (1917-1982), Angelanna "Babe" (b. 1918), Irene "Rena" (b. 1924), and Henry (1926-1999).
As for Barbara, she married Giovanni "John" Cattani, and had eight daughters: Genevieve "Jean" (1911-2002), Alice (1914-2002), Onellia "Nellie" (1916-1998), Frances Ann (1919-p 1998), Lena (1921-1994), Perina "Perry" (1926-1993), Mary (1929-1990), and Rosemary (1934-p 1998). As for Francesco, he arrived first in April 1907 and again in 1914, living in Avonmore from 1908 to 1911, marrying Domenica Cattani. Maria, on the other hand, married Giuseppe Berte sometime before September 1912, arriving in the U.S. later that year, living in Berte, Vermont, and had three children: Ketri (b. 1913), Lina Maria Nita (1915-1992), and Ancilla Francesca Ermelinda (b. 1918). The stories of Angelo's two other sisters, Barbara and Angelina tie into his own story.
In this post, I'd like to investigate why Angelo, who later took the name of Louis Franci, came to the U.S., giving some background before addressing the question posed in the title of this post. Below are photographs of the ships that the LanFranchis and Cattanis traveled on to the U.S. from Italy:
Tumblr media
Angelo arrived in the U.S. in 1914. In the passenger manifest, it states that he is a 18-year-old laborer (more on that later) who last lived in Lesignano, also known as Lesignano de' Bagni, a municipality (or comune) in the province of Parma, 56 miles west of Bologno, 9 miles south of the city of Parma, and 15 miles southwest of the small town of Casola. The port he left from, Le Havre, France, 587 miles or 944 kilometers as the crow flies. Undoubtedly, Angelo got to Le Havre by using a railroad. As historian Bruno Derrick writes on the National Archives of the UK's website, railways across Europe grew exponentially from 1874 to 1914, new lines and capacities were being built, "with virtually every major town and city being connected by railway lines." James Simpson, a web developer and writer, added that the scale of the continent's railroads made World War I possible. He was single and unmarried at the time he immigrated, as the below document indicates:
Tumblr media
Angelo listed at the bottom of the page. A Paulo Cattani and Gugligemo Chioldi also listed on this page. We'll get to them in a later post.
The following page shows he was en route to Avonmore, Pennsylvania, a small town with a nearby railroad and a population of about 1,200 people as noted in the 1910 and 1920 censuses for the borough, situated in Westmoreland County. This record also claimed his birthplace as Lesignano, while also noting that a 27-year-old married man named Paulo Cattani traveling to the house of his brother, Valentino, in the town (Box 844), with his wife Angela still living in Italy, and a 22-year-old single farm laborer named Gugligemo Chioldi, leaving his mother Rosa Branchi in Lesignano, where Angelo has last lived before leaving the country, but to no specific address.
Tumblr media
Says he is going to Avonmore, the same place that Gugliemo Chioldi, and varied others are going.
But why there? It is relatively far out of the way, about 34 miles away from Pittsburgh, not near any major center of commerce now or in the past. The reason is obvious: his siblings were already living there! His married sister Barbara traveled with her husband, John Cattani and their child Genevieve "Jean" back in 1912. They also left from Le Havre, France, and traveled on the S.S. Rochambeau.
Tumblr media
John's brother, another Cattani, lived in Avonmore at the time, so it only made sense for them to travel there. But, that wouldn't be the only reason of course, as they likely had other family connections, something which later posts will expand upon.
Tumblr media
That's not all! Angelina came to Avonmore two years after Angelo and went to live with Barbara. This record names their father (and my great-grandfather) as Francesco LanFranchi, despite the passenger manifest of Angelo (noted earlier in this post) which called their father "Guiseppe LanFranchi." This also lists her birthplace as Casola, which more aligned with what I have heard about Angelo.
Tumblr media Tumblr media

That brings us to the one million dollar question: why did Angelo immigrate to the U.S.? This is an important question because 1914 was at the tale end of the wave of immigration in the early 20th century to U.S. shores, most coming from Southern Europe and Eastern Europe, with Italians, by the 1930s, as the largest group, in terms of immigrants, in the nation as a whole, in various states, including New York, Louisiana, New Jersey and Nevada. During this immigration movement to the United States, roughly from 1890 to 1919, 18.2 million came to the U.S., 62% from South/East Europe, 26% from North/West Europe, 3% from Latin America, and 2% from South/East Asia.
One theory I heard from some relatives and I considered myself, is that Angelo ran away from Italy due to the draft and that he would be arrested if he went back to Italy. As the story goes, he couldn't even attend the funeral of his mother Adelaide due to fear he would be jailed as a result. Just to be clear, the draft in Italy wasn't like the still-existing "Selective Service System" in the U.S. Some have argued that Italy wouldn't have existed without conscription, a part of wider social and political reforms, and introduced onto the peninsula by none other than Napoleon! In recent years, some Italian politicians wanted to bring it back, claiming there were "threats" which necessitated it! As Marcia Melnyk writes in Family Tree magazine, you can get conscription papers on an Italian ancestor, with the records called registro di leva and listing all "males by year of birth within each military district," with the records often indexed.
History is Now Magazine notes that Italy, generally a new nation-state, only becoming a united country in the 19th century, had an economy mainly based in agriculture but lacked a "competent military." However, the magazine adds that those who wanted Italy to not enter the war (neutralisti) and those who did want want to enter the war (interventisti) clashed with each other, in the political arena. The latter group won when Italy ceased to be part of an alliance with Austria-Hungary and Germany, joining France, Britain, and Russia, declaring war on Germany and Austria-Hungary on May 24, 1915. This meant that Italy didn't enter the war until that point. At the same time, the size of the Italian Army increased from 300,000 in 1915 to five million by the end of the war in November 1918. A strong anti-Austria-Hungry sentiment likely spread across the country since Austria-Hungary was "Italy’s historical enemy." The country's armed forces only expanded due to...conscription, which Italy relied upon since its creation in 1861, in an attempt to supposedly "forge a sense of nationhood." The Italian the army forces used it to acquire personnel until the abolition of conscription in peacetime in 2006, phasing it out after 2000.
Tumblr media
Europe in 1914, via The National Archives (UK)
Of course, there are records of such recruitment, since the Italian government introduced military conscription in 1907. Alexander Watson of the British Library writes that 55% of male Italians aged 18 to 50 were called to military service from 1914 to 1918, while another says conscription of those over age 18 began in 1865. Due to the Pope's message and high death rate, peasants in Italy, apparently, shunned the war, refusing to abide by conscription orders or enlist. This wouldn't be a surprise since Italy decided to base their army after 1870 on unfree labor. Even in August 1914, General Luigi Cadorna, chief of staff of the Italian Army, expected war and began building up the Italian army, concentrating military forces on the country's borders with Austria-Hungary. A few months later, in June 1914, widespread strikes (including a two-day general strike) and rioting rocked the Italian provinces of Emilia-Romagna and Marche, with seizing of railway stations, cutting telephone wires, and burning tax registers, the so-called "Red Week," with the former being the province where Angelo was living.
Furthermore, this description from Mary Tedesco, a professional genealogist who co-authored a book titled Tracing Your Italian Ancestors, gives some tips on tracing your Italian genealogy, points to military conscription records as one of the sources of genealogical information:
Following Italian unification in 1861, military service was required by each Italian male. These records are classified by city or town of birth and year of birth, and in many Italian areas date back to birth years 1840 – 1842. Historical draft records and military service records can typically be found at either the Archivio di Stato [Italian State Archives] in the province where you ancestor lived.
At first, I thought draft records for the Province of Parma didn't survive since a listing of Italian military records lists none for the province, abbreviated as "Reggio Emilia" within the Italian State Archives. However, the State Archives of Parma holds a series titled "Leva Militare" meaning "military draft" [2] which has a 209-page collection from the Ufficio di leva di Parma, otherwise known as the Parma Draft office, the series lasting from 1883 to 1915! This would be a much better resource than trying to page through the hard-to-navigate census (there are only ones for 1861, 1871 and 1881) for Reggio Emilia, which I have basically given up in trying to search through on my computer. I WILL pursue that in the days to come.
War Resisters International claims that draft evasion under existing Italian law is "punishable by up to five years' imprisonment, and five to 15 years' in wartime," relying in a 1991 report on "Conscientious objection to military service" by Amnesty International. However, when translating article 336 of the Italian penal code, known as Codice penale [3], into English, it only clearly only refers to anyone who uses violence or a threat of violence against a public official or someone "in charge of a public service." It has nothing to do with draft-dodging, which is illegal under U.S. law. At the same time, it wasn't until 1972 that the Italian Parliament approved a law which made conscientious objection to the draft by those with "profound religious or philosophical or moral beliefs" legal. Even so, those who were approved to be conscientious objectors still had to perform an eight-month term of "unarmed military service, or civil replacement service" in its place. If someone refused that, then they could be imprisoned for 2-4 years. I'm pretty sure that this provision is no longer valid since conscription fully ended in 2006 for the country as a whole.
How in the world does this relate to Angelo? In order to determine that, some background needs to be established. Italy has established three criminal procedure codes since its creation: one in 1865, another in 1913, one in 1930, and a final one in 1988. Furthermore, the current constitution of Italy wasn't enacted until 1948, and the current civil code, also known as Codice civile, began in 1942. This replaced the one in 1865, an Italian translation of the Code Napoleon, the French Civil Code established in 1804. [4] I am also aware that the Albertine Statute, also known as Statuto Albertino, established by the ruler of Sardinia in 1848, soon became the constitution of the Kingdom of Italy, remaining in force until 1948. This is despite the fact that the fascist rule of Benito Mussolini after 1925 mostly voided its text. The Albertine Statute  mentioned the draft in Article 75, stating "the military conscriptions shall be regulated by law." In doing some digging around, I found that article 11 of the Italian Civil Code of 1865 stated that those who received citizenship of a foreign country lose their Italian citizenship. Luckily for all Italian immigrants, a 1912 law revised this. The latter asserted that if someone naturalized after July 1, 1912, all their children "retained Italian citizenship even if they were unemancipated minors as long as they were granted the same foreign country’s citizenship automatically when they were born in that country." As such, Angelo was unaffected by this change.
There is only one mention of "leva" or military service in the 1865 Italian Civil Code: clause 6 of Book 1, Title I (Of Citizenship and Enjoyment of Civil Rights), which focuses on citizenship. That section is shown below:
The son born in a foreign country from a father who lost citizenship before his birth is considered a foreigner. However, he may elect the status of citizen, provided that he declares it in accordance with the preceding article and establishes his home in the kingdom within the year from the declaration made. However, if he has accepted public employment in the kingdom, or has served or serves in the national army on land or sea, or otherwise satisfied with military service without invoking an exemption for the quality of foreigner, he will certainly be considered a citizen.
Without a need to examine the previous maritime penal code of Italy or the 1865 procedural code, I looked at the 1869 Codice penale per l'esercito del regno d'Italia, otherwise known as the Criminal code for the Army of the Kingdom of Italy. One provision, article 277, noted how soldiers who forces conditions on others will be excluded from the military for five years. However, a later version of the same document, in 1869, indicates, in Appendix I, Title I, clause 1 that the military will recruit people voluntarily and through the draft, sometimes translated as "military lever." The next title focuses entirely on the draft, with the first chapter outlining those subject to it. I expected the parts about how there is an obligation to contribute to the draft, with certain distributions and determinations, or that all citizens of Italy are subject to the draft, only men in certain draft categories, called upon in "extraordinary contingencies." Even so, clause 7 was the most chilling of all. It stated that citizens subject to the draft cannot "obtain a foreign passport if he does not obtain authorization under the precautions determined by the Regulation mentioned in article 1." A footnote explained this further:
The naturalization abroad, without the prior consent of the Government of the King, does not exempt the citizen from the obligation to draft, whose enrollment must follow only the list of the municipality of the last domicile in the State.
This would mean that if Angelo was naturalized in the U.S. after he immigrated, but had been put on a draft list, then he could NOT return to Italy as he would be arrested for a crime of avoiding the draft, commonly called "draft-dodging." He, like all young men those in Italy from age 16 to 19, would have also needed a written statement known as a nulla osta to legally emigrate. However to get this document would would need to fulfill your military obligations and then you could get a passport. Under Italian law, you could be exempted from "reporting a vital necessity of emigration" if you had brothers or relatives who would engage in "permanent service to the Italian Army."
Further clauses (9, 10, and 11) explained how the King of Italy would determine the distribution of the draft quota, with each province subdivided, and having drawings of citizens for the draft itself. However, as noted in second section of this law's chapter, exact draft operations would be overseen by the Minister of War, seemingly appointed by the King, coupled with various draft boards and commissioners, the latter appointed by the King, to enforce the draft itself. Clause 19 of the law's second chapter noted that men when they turn age 19 (I'll come back to that later on in this post) need to be registered with the draft. The following clause said young people are considered as residents of a certain municipality if their father, father, or guardian lives there, those born in the municipality itself, those from another country who been naturalized in that municipality, and so on. Clauses 22, 23, and 24 were intriguing as they pointed out that the draft list was originally compiled in January by the town mayor:
The Leva [draft/service] list is compiled for the care of the Mayor within the same month of January on the declarations referred to in art. 19, and investigations to be made in the civil status records, as well depending on other documents and information. The first of the following month of February, and for fifteen days consecutive, the list of young people inscribed on that list is published by the Mayor...During the same month of February the Mayor must record all the observations, declarations, or reminders that are made to him for omissions, for false indications, or for errors whatever they may be. The Delegated Council examines the list of Leva [draft/service], and if it is necessary to rectify it in regard to young people who in any way are omitted or unduly registered; and taking into account the observations, declarations and recalls, referred to in article 23 above, it follows the modifications, additions and cancellations that are necessary.
Lets go back to the passenger manifest for the S.S. France. It notes that the ship left Le Havre on January 24, 1914 and arrived in New York on January 30, a six day journey. Angelo's birthday was on September 6. When he left for the U.S. he wasn't 18 years old, yet. He was 17 years, 4 months, and 18 days old, when he left Italy, and six-days older when going through Ellis Island, having lived on the planet Earth for 6,354 days, to take from a handy dandy age calculator. Angelo would turn 18 later that year. I looked back at clause 19, to refresh my memory:
On the 1st of January of each year the Mayors are obliged to make known by express notification to young people who in the beginning of the nineteenth year of their age, the duty to be registered on the Leva [draft/service] list of the Municipality in which they have legal domicile, and their parents or guardians. Obligation that they are required to take care of their registration.
For Angelo, he would not be notified by the mayor of Casola he was being drafted until January 1, 1915, taking this law literally. As such, under this law, he wouldn't be eligible for the draft at the time he left Italy because he wasn't old enough. Later clauses (28 and 29) talk about those who "escaped" draft registration, and note there is a crime for those who escaped the draft, while also noting how the draft will be conducted (see clauses 34-43), specifically this crime is for those that aided and abetted those on draft lists, a punishment of prison and a fine of two thousand lire (see clause 169). This punishment applies to draft dodgers per the previous clause, clause 168. However, if the age Italians was drafted was lowered to age 18, as some sources indicate, then that means that he would have been notified on January 1, 1914!
What I found so far makes me skeptical that avoiding the draft was his reason for immigrating to the U.S. One source contradicts the age I found in the Italian Criminal Code: FamilySearch. The page on Italian military records states that all Italian males since the creation of the Italian state have been "subject to military duty," and stating that the draft of young men began at age 18, a compilation of lists into the liste di leva. [5] These records categorized individuals by year of birth, providing the name of the young men, their parents, place of birth, where they were living, and other relevant data. This is followed by the Liste d'Estrazione (also known as liste di arruolamento), with age 21 males examined by the draft board, looking at the physical, mental, and legal eligibility of men. Again, the men's name, parents' names, place of residence, and other information is listed. In 1923, the preparation of the liste di leva ended, replaced by only the estrazione. Here is where Angelo would have gotten in trouble, without a doubt
Young men had no right to emigrate from Italy before the age of 18 unless the whole family had departed. From the list of all males eligible for the draft, a certain amount of young men were called (extracted) to actually serve the draft. This depended on eligibility and the number necessary to fulfill the draft quota of the Italian State. Therefore, the liste d'estrazioni set forth the names of those draft-eligible men who were actually drafted or exempted. If a young man did not present himself for the draft and was not represented at the draft call he could be declared eligible and labelled as a deserter or accounted for because of an exemption. This happened at times to those who legally emigrated to North or South America and also to those who illegally emigrated and who did not return because they could be imprisioned [sic] for draft evasion.
Other Italian military records include the Registro dei Folgi Matricolari (draftee curriculum of service record), Foglio di Congedo Illimitato (discharge records), and Registro di Ruolo (service records). These would all be part of a "treasure trove of information" than some Italian genealogists have written about. This makes it likely that the law that stated that those age 19 and older would be added to the draft role was changed, especially since terms one would be conscripted into military service declined from five years in 1863 to two years in 1910. [6] Not only in September 1915, when those born in 1896 where called into service, 12.1% did not appear for draft calls, despite a decline in emigration, but to escape extreme misery in the country's agricultural sectors, Italian men (mostly) left the country in huge numbers, about 6.5 million in total from 1905 to 1914, equivalent to 1/6 of Italy's population! Almost 60% went to the U.S., while those that remained, like the peasants (contadini) undoubtedly continued to reject conscription despite the Italian state trying to impose it. [7]
What FamilySearch says puts some credibility to the story he would have fled Italy to avoid the draft. As Jerry Finzi, a semi-retired photographer writes on Grand Voyage to Italy, many Italian men wanted to leave Italy to escape military conscription, although many others wanted only to America, "earn money and return to buy their own land." Avoiding the draft was not uncommon, as thousands did so, either by dodging it, revolting or deserting, when it was introduced during Napoleonic rule over Northern Italy from 1802 to 1814, even though such an effort was said to be "successful," despite the cost that Italians had to bear in Napoleon's imperial designs, coupled with heavy taxation.  If FamilySearch has their date wrong, which doesn't seem likely at this point, perhaps Angelo was a planner and realized he would be drafted ultimately and wanted to leave as a result. After all, there were a good number of people who had the surname of LanFranchi who died in Italy in WWI, as noted when you search this Italian genealogical website. I may need to go to a Family History Library to continue this quest to get records or directly request them from Parma. [8] In any case, Angelo had family in the U.S., including his sister Barbara, and joined by his sister Angelina, all concentrated in Avonmore. Even so, there were intricacies in Berte which pulled Angelo away from Avonmore, which created a fascinating set of circumstances...

Notes
[1] This is noted by his 1929 Declaration of Intention, his WWII draft card in 1942, Al Franci's notes on his father, and his birth certificate issued in 1959. Some other documents say he was born on September 7, specifically his 1915 Declaration of Intention, his WWI Draft Card in 1918 and the marriage application with Jennie Baccarini in 1931. Some information in this post relies on information from one of living cousins, who also mentioned a number of other people like Ralph Nastari.
[2] Leva means either lever, draft, conscription, and so on. After all, the term "servizio di leva" means "national service," referring to the draft. I have used it to be draft or service here, just in case there are any translation errors.
[3] As noted by one legal site, Italian criminal is codified into the Codice Penale (Criminal Code) and Codice di Procedura Penale (Code of Criminal Procedure) and is divided generally into three books: “Crimes in general”, “Types of Crimes”, and “Types of Misdemeanors”.
[4] One site remarks that "the civil code of 1865 seemed to be the perfect goal of li-beral politicians, who wanted to strenghten State’s unity through legislative unity. The State Library of Louisiana adds that in 1865, the newly-formed Kingdom of Italy created "its own new Codice Civile, which retains and reflects much of the original Napoléonic Code."
[5] The age of 18 as the beginning year for those drafted has also been asserted by David A. Fryxell in Family Tree, ItalyGenWeb, My Italian Family,  By 1927, the age the draft began was also age 18. In A Handbook of Military Conscription and Composition the World Over, Rita J. Simon and Mohamed Alaa Abdel-Moneim write, on page 85, that "after a 200-year old practice of conscription since the Napoleonic time in Italy, where all males aged 18 to 26 had to perform military service for 10 months, the Italian Senate voted overwhelmingly in 2000 to abolish conscription...conscription can still be reactivated in times of war or national crises."
[6] John Gooch, The Italian Army and the First World War (US: Cambridge University Press, 2014), 8-9.
[7] Ibid, 135, 214-215.
[8] There are four collections which I'd look at: "Liste di leva della provincia di Parma 1913-1914"; "Liste di leva della provincia di Parma 1914"; "Liste di leva della provincia di Parma 1914-1915"; "Liste di leva della provincia di Parma 1915". It says that to access these images you need to access the site at a family history center or at a FamilySearch affiliate library. If anyone could help with this, that would be great.

Coronavirus live updates | WHO chief warns against talk of 'endgame' in pandemic
New Post has been published on https://behealthy99.com/coronavirus-live-updates-who-chief-warns-against-talk-of-endgame-in-pandemic/
Coronavirus live updates | WHO chief warns against talk of 'endgame' in pandemic
On Monday, 397 deaths were recorded, considerably higher than the average levels recorded in the last week.
The number of recorded fatalities has reached 4,89,903.
Tamil Nadu reported the most deaths (46) followed by Punjab (39) and West Bengal (37).
On Sunday, 14.7 lakh tests were conducted (the results of which were made available on Monday). The test positivity rate (the number of cases detected per 100 tests) was 15.9%.

You can track coronavirus cases, deaths and testing rates at the national and State levels here. A list of State Helpline numbers is available as well.
Here are the updates:
  COVID cases reported on Australian aid vessel sailing to virus-free Tonga
About two dozen cases of COVID-19 have been recorded among the crew of an Australian warship on its way to deliver humanitarian aid to virus-free Tonga, authorities said on Tuesday.
Authorities in Tonga, hit by a massive volcanic eruption and a tsunami on Jan. 15, have asked for aid to be delivered without human contact amid concerns a COVID outbreak would be devastating for the tiny Pacific island nation.
The HMAS Adelaide which left from Brisbane carrying large quantities of supplies, helicopters, water purification equipment, additional humanitarian aid, and also an Australian Army engineer contingent, is due to arrive in Tonga in a few days. – Reuters
Assam
Assam government tightens COVID restrictions, non-vaccinated people banned from visiting public places
The Assam government on Monday issued an order tightening restrictions to contain spread of COVID-19 in the state and banning entry of non-vaccinated people to public places, except hospitals.
It also directed authorities to shut schools for up to class 8 students.
The government asked citizens to carry proof of vaccination while going to public places.
These restrictions will come into effect from 6 a.m. of January 25, the order said. – PTI
China
China tests two million in Beijing, lifts COVID lockdown in Xi’an
Less than two weeks before the opening of the Winter Olympics, a few dozen COVID-19 cases in Beijing have prompted authorities to test millions of people in the capital and extend that to anyone buying cold medicine.
The tough new measures came even as the city of Xi’an, a major tourist destination that is the home of the Terracotta Warrior statue army, lifted a lockdown Monday that had isolated its 13 million people for a month.
More than 3,000 people have arrived for the Games since Jan. 4, including over 300 athletes and team officials, plus media and other participants, organizers said Monday. So far, 78 people have tested positive, including one who was an athlete or team official. – AP
United Kingdom
U.K. to lift travel test requirements for the vaccinated
The British government announced Monday that it is scrapping coronavirus travel testing requirements for the vaccinated, news hailed by the travel industry as a big step back to normality.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that “to show that this country is open for business, open for travelers, you will see changes so that people arriving no longer have to take tests if they have been vaccinated, if they have been double vaccinated.”
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said the change would take effect Feb. 11, coinciding with a midterm holiday break for many schoolchildren. – AP
Jammu and Kashmir
Jammu and Kashmir Raj Bhawan cancels Republic Day ‘At Home’ reception as Covid cases spike
The Raj Bhawan on Monday night decided to cancel this year’s Republic Day ‘At Home’ reception in view of the spike in coronavirus cases in Jammu and Kashmir.
Liutenant Governor Manoj Sinha has urged the people of the Union Territory to follow Covid Appropriate Behaviour (CAB) and safety protocols issued by the health officials, a Raj Bhawan spokesman said.
Jammu and Kashmir on Monday recorded 5,394 fresh cases of coronavirus taking the infection count to 4,02,596 while eight deaths due to the virus were reported in the past 24 hours, officials said. – PTI
USA
U.S. CDC warns against travel to Peru, Kuwait, UAE over COVID
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Monday advised against travel to 15 countries and territories because of a rising number of COVID-19 cases.
The CDC elevated its travel recommendation to “Level Four: Very High” for Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Fiji, Jamaica, Guadeloupe, Kuwait, Mongolia, Niger, Peru, Romania, Saint Barthelemy, Saint Martin, Tunisia and United Arab Emirates.
The CDC now recommends against travel to about 115 countries and territories worldwide. – Reuters
Germany
Germany extends COVID curbs as infections threaten infrastructure
Germany on Monday extended its current pandemic measures as the experts panel appointed by the government has warned the fast spreading Omicron coronavirus variant could bring critical infrastructure in Europe’s biggest economy to a breaking point.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz said he had agreed with the heads of the federal states to extend restrictions such as limiting private gatherings to 10 ten people and requiring proof of booster vaccination or a negative test at restaurants.
“Now it’s time to stay on course,” said Mr. Scholz after a meeting on Monday. – Reuters
USA
U.S. COVID peak may be over but not the pain as deaths rise
Even as COVID-19 cases drop and hospitalizations show signs of plateauing in hard-hit pockets of the United States, the still-rising death toll from the Omicron variant highlights the trail of loss that follows every virus surge.
Coronavirus deaths hit an 11-month high on Sunday, climbing 11% in the past week when compared to the prior week, according to a Reuters analysis.
COVID-19 fatalities are a lagging indicator, meaning their numbers usually rise a few weeks after new cases and hospitalizations. – Reuters
India
India’s total case tally reaches 3.95 crore
The country recorded 2,34,650 new COVID-19 cases on Monday.
The total number of infections has reached 3.95 crore and the active cases have crossed the 22.4-lakh mark.
The figures are based on the State bulletins released until 10 p.m. on Monday.
However, Ladakh, Haryana, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand and Lakshadweep had not yet released data for the day.
Karnataka recorded 46,426 infections followed by Tamil Nadu (30,215) and Maharashtra (28,286).
  India
COVID 3.0 drags activity lower by 20% in less than a month
The onset of the third COVID-19 wave in the country has dragged down economic activity by about 20% in less than a month, as per a Nomura index tracking resumption of business operations since the pandemic started.
The Nomura India Business Resumption Index fell to 100.5 for the week ended January 23, from 102.2 in the preceding week, only approximately 0.5% above pre-pandemic levels, the firm said in a note on Monday.
A reading of 100 on the index indicates activity levels before the pandemic hit the economy in early 2020. This is the fourth successive week of moderation in the index, which had peaked at 120.2 in the week ended December 26, and signals a slowdown in the economy in tandem with the rise in COVID-19 cases ahead of the Union Budget for 2022-23 to be presented next week. Nomura recently cut its India GDP growth forecast for 2021-22 to 8.7% from 9.2%. “We expect the upcoming Budget… to prioritise growth, with directional fiscal consolidation to 6.4% of GDP in 2022—23 from 6.8% of GDP expected in 2021-22,” Nomura research analysts Sonal Varma and Aurodeep Nandi noted.
  Tamil Nadu
Protest staged against compulsory COVID vaccination in Madurai
People’s Federation against Compulsory Vaccination staged a demonstration here on Monday protesting against the government forcing people to compulsorily get COVID vaccine.
Citing the affidavit filed by the Centre in the Supreme Court which said that the government was not forcing anyone to get themselves compulsorily vaccinated, the federation said that the union government should give up its present policy on vaccination which was against the Constitution of India.
  World
WHO chief warns against talk of ‘endgame’ in pandemic
The head of the World Health Organisation is warning that conditions remain ideal for more coronavirus variants to emerge and says it’s dangerous to assume omicron is the last one or that “we are in the endgame”, while saying the acute phase of the pandemic could still end this year — if some key targets are met.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO’s director-general, laid out Monday an array of achievements and concerns in global health over issues like reducing tobacco use, fighting resistance to anti-microbial treatments, and risks of climate change on human health. But he said “ending the acute phase of the pandemic must remain our collective priority”.
“There are different scenarios for how the pandemic could play out and how the acute phase could end. But it’s dangerous to assume that omicron will be the last variant or that we are in the endgame,” Tedros told the start of a WHO executive board meeting this week. “On the contrary, globally, the conditions are ideal for more variants to emerge.” But he insisted that “we can end COVID-19 as a global health emergency, and we can do it this year,” by reaching goals like WHO’s target to vaccinate 70% of the population of each country by the middle of this year, with a focus on people who are at the highest risk of COVID-19, and improving testing and sequencing rates to track the virus and its emerging variants more closely. – PTI
  Breakthrough COVID-19 infections generate strong antibody response: Study
People vaccinated three times or immunised after an earlier COVID-19 infection have comparable neutralising antibody response to those with a breakthrough infection, according to a study.
A breakthrough infection is a case of illness in which a fully vaccinated individual becomes infected.
The study, published in the journal Cell, looked at the strength, durability and breadth of neutralising antibody response generated by breakthrough infections in individuals vaccinated against SARS-CoV2. – PTI
  Tamil Nadu
Tamil Nadu reports 30,215 fresh COVID-19 infections
A total of 30,215 people tested positive for COVID-19 in Tamil Nadu on Monday, taking the overall tally to 31,64,205. As on date 2,06,484 patients are under treatment. Except Mayiladuthurai, which reported 88 new infections, all other districts had a high caseload.
In Chennai, the number of new infections continued to fall, with 6,296 people testing positive on Monday. The district also recorded 17 deaths. A total of 6,98,616 people have tested positive till date, and 52,742 are under treatment either at home or in healthcare facilities.
Several districts reported fresh cases in their thousands. In Coimbatore, 3,786 new infections were reported, while in Chengalpattu, 1,742 people tested positive. Erode, Kanniyakumari, Salem, Thanjavur and Tiruppur also reported over 1,000 fresh cases each.
  Delhi
For Delhi health volunteers, the fight is twofold: virus and its stigma
The Omicron variant of COVID-19 may be relatively milder than its more devastating predecessors but the efforts to tackle its spread have by no means been easier.
It’s not just the high transmissibility of the virus that bothers the Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) and the civil defence volunteers (CDVs), who are at the front lines of the city’s fight against the virus. The volunteers say they have to face “rudeness and hostility” of patients as well as their family members in most cases.
The work of the ASHAs and CDVs has become more important given their role in forming home isolation teams that help in creating strict micro-containment zones, which is the most effective weapon in the administration’s arsenal against Omicron. “Micro-containment and strict perimeter control are of utmost importance given the transmissibility of the Omicron variant,” a senior government official said. “While more and more containment zones have been chalked out, deployment of teams on the ground has also been increased to ensure stricter perimeter control,” the official said.
