Erminio de Minico 1939
Did I tell you how much I love Footnote? Yep ... I probably did :-) Tonight I came across naturalization papers for our Erminio de Minico, born 30 October 1884 in Torre le Nocelle. The photo above came from his 1939 Declaration of Intention. Doesn't he have a sweet face?
Erminio was born to shoemaker Federigo Pasquale de Minico (1855) and Maria Elisabetta aka Luisa Ardolino (1858). He had four siblings: Fioravante aka Fiore (1880), Erminio (1882-1884), Roberto Ciriaco (1887) and Albertina (1889).
Mother Maria Elisabetta died in 1893 and father Federigo went on to marry Maria Luigia Petriello, also of Torre. This second marriage produced six more children: Alberto (1895), Carmine (1897), Maria Luisa (1899), Rosa (1906), Annibale (1910) and Giuseppe (1912).
Below is Erminio's birth act.
