A family record · Palermo, 1413 → Detroit, now
There have been Tom Lucidos for over six hundred years. The earliest record is from Palermo, in 1413.
By the count of my cousin Steve Lucido, who has been digging through the archives for a book on the family, history holds at least 26 Thomas Lucidos and 19 Tommaso Lucidos. These are the records found so far.
Gerardo de lu Magru, from the hill town of Polizzi, sells a donkey to Tommaso de Lucidu for one onza.
One onza was thirty tarì, the small silver coin of the Sicilian kingdom.
Tommaso de Lucido of Palermo is granted a vineyard in the Falsomiele district by emphyteusis, for 18 tarì a year. The grant comes from Donna Letizia Villaraut, acting for the nobleman Simone de Lanzirotti.
Emphyteusis was a long-term lease, often for life or longer. The tenant worked and improved the land and paid a small fixed rent each year.
Tommaso Lucido, called Tomeo, buys a small horse from Antonio de Arano for 2 onze and 6 tarì.
The cathedral records the marriage of Matteo Lucido and Barbara. The witness is Valenti Lucido.
