    Justin’s Italian ancestry comes from Genoa, Liguria. His great-grandfather Ronaldo H. Mangene was born in 1866 and died in 1956. Go to ancestry “Massachusetts, Mason Membership Cards, 1733-1990” it says he where he was born, died, occupation. It lists Ronaldo as Hipolite Rolando Mangene, probably switched the first and middle name around.
