Thanks... I will send away for the certified copy of the petition and then send all the info to the embassy and see what they have to say!

Thank you for responding so quickly. How do I determine if NARA has the Oath of Allegiance?

I have found my ggf naturalization record on nara and have the petition number... they say they will certify this record. Will a certified copy from NARA be sufficient?

Hello I just returned from a great trip to Sicily. I met my family and got all the documents I need to start applying for cizenship. All except the naturalization papers. I think I found a listing on the NARA. Can I just print a copy of this from the website or do I have to get an official copy? Do ...

Yes, Nuccia you are right. Thanks for the website. I really do have a lot of work to do! Vj thanks for the information, do you have the website I can find that on by any chance?

Nuccia, sorry I could not see the information you gave at first (the Japanese computer I am on had to be reconfigured!)

Now the big question is how do I find out about his naturalization status (and thus if I can go ahead and try t...

Nuccia,
The first one you posted on the Duilio is him for sure... his first son was born on sept 10, 1909... so the second one is most likely not him.
How could I find out about the journey he made in 1912?

Thanks for the help

I just found my grandfathers boat, He came on the Patria from Palermo on Dec 2, 1924... he was 14 years old...

his mothers name was Crocifissa Campochiaro (Radosta is maiden name)... how are you able to view the manifest?

eyetalgal thanks again. Does anyone know of a way I can check the naturalization records with the information I have?

Thank you so much... do you have the website address!!

Thank you very much, How would I go about getting more information from this? Is there any way I can view this record online?
