Gregorio Mannina A-file: Part 2 Application for Certificate of Identification

Also included in Gregorio's A-file (see last post for information on the A file) is an Application for Certificate of Identification (Aliens of Enemy Nationalities). The Application is form AR-AE-22. It was submitted on Feb 11, 1942 to the United States Department of Justice Brooklyn, NY location. The Alien Registration receipt number is 3552191 - this is the number associated with all of Gregorio Mannina's A-file documents.  On the application his name is listed as Gregorio Mannina. His address: 37 Starr St Brooklyn, NY. His employment is listed as "unemployed for a number of years". His date of Birth is 12-19-1894 and he is a citizen of Italy.  Relatives living in the United States are Jennie Mannina, Wife, Address 37 Starr St. Anthony Mannina, son, James Mannina, son, Angelo Mannina, son,  Michael Mannina, son, and Joseph Mannina, son.   Relatives living outside the United States, Mary Mannina, sister address: Italy. This is a new name. I have not before heard of a sister, so I was excited to see this.  He has not applied for or recieved citizenship papers since August 27, 1940 and has never been refused naturalization.  He has never taken an oath or allegiance to a country, state or nation other than the United States.  He has never read a summary of the provisions of Presidential Proclamations and Regulations concerning the conduct of aliens of enemy nationalities.  He is not affiliated with any clubs, organizations or societies.
