Re: I need help
What information do you have about him?
Place/date of birth? etc.
The name Monico is most common in Lombardia and Veneto, but without more information that's all I can say.

Re: I need help
So his fathers name is also Herman then? Hmm is their anymore information on his father and mother? Because i tried finding Hermans birth certificate in America to see if I can find the names but I cant seem to find his birth certificate
Re: I need help
Just posted the 1920 Census (looks like a different wife, Teresa. Could have been that she died and he remarried? Since Herman was born in 1920... could be she died in childbirth or sometime after?)conno11 wrote:So his fathers name is also Herman then? Hmm is their anymore information on his father and mother?

I believe TERESA (in 1920 Census) is the mother of your HERMAN.
His name could have been CARMINE Pietromonaco
Her name was probably Concetta...
Do you know if they were married in US or Italy?
I am checking birth registrations in Vinchitura now, there are two in 1887...
EDIT TO ADD:
Is this the WWI Registration Card for the Herman's father in Omaha?
Making date of birth 16 September 1886?

Re: I need help
According to what I'm finding, Herman the father was born around 1886. Even if it is Carmine Pietromonaco, there are two Carmine Pietromonaco's born in 1887 alone in Vinchitura. You may need to find the immigration record to know which it is since it will also have the father's (your great-great-grandfather's) name.

Re: I need help
do you know any good sources where I can find immigration records??
Re: I need help
O and I just wanted to let you guys know Thank you for all your help!! you guys are great!!!
Re: I need help
One of the birth records in Vinchitura has a date of 13 September 1887 (birth on 11th)conno11 wrote:O and I just wanted to let you guys know Thank you for all your help!! you guys are great!!!

Hmmm, if that is the correct date then I'm not sure I can help. The source I'm using for Vinchitura skips from 1885 to 1887. BUT you could easily write a letter, in Italian, to l'Ufficio di Stato Civile in Vinchitura and ask for a copia integrale dell'atto di nascita and give them the exact date, it should be enough for them to send you a scan of the birth certificate if we can't find one online.

Re: I need help
I posted the September 1887 record link above because sometimes US records are off by year, but immigrants usually get the month correct
In that record, Carmine's father is Alessandro, son of deceased Giovanni Pietromonaco; and mother is Maria di Sano, daughter of Benedetto...

Re: I need help
Thats not really a solid lead, different years, different dates. Considering the name Carmine Pietromonaco seems common in the town, there's no way to know if they are the same. Genealogy can never be based on assumptions. You'll need to try and get the record for the date indicated by the WWII record. If the town says there was no person with that name born in September 1886, then maybe you can start considering errors in records.Tessa78 wrote:

When I was doing my own research in the Supino parish records, I found a woman with the same name and year of birth, and fathers name, as my great-great grandmother, but it wasn't her. There were two. Can't just go on guesswork or you inadvertently start looking into someone else's family
