## Preamble

Gérald DARMANIN is both a son of northern France and a son of the Mediterranean basin.

More precisely, his genealogy reflects:

- 50% Northern French (and Belgian)
- 25% Algerian
- 25% Maltese via Tunisia

We will focus on his Maltese roots, which begin with the presence in Tunisia of 3 generations of Maltese emigrants:

**Spiridione DARMANIN** and **Carmela CARUANA**, his great-grandparents, who married in La Goulette in 1893

and

**Rocco DARMANIN** (× Adèle DEMARQUE), his grandfather, who was born in Béjà in 1902
