Nicola de Minico 1923
This one is an interesting contradiction of names and dates ....
Nicola was born in Boston on 12 September 1902 (or 1903 - take your pick) to Carmine de Minico and Maria Carmina (Carmela) de Carro of Torre le Nocelle. Apparently Nicola's birth was never registered with the city of Boston and it was necessary for him to supply alternate means of identification to receive his U.S. passport so he could return to the States.
At the time it must have been aggravating for Nicola, but it turns out to be a bonus for us ... as we now have a copy of his baptismal certificate ;-)
