jcavallo, I had a similar situation with my family. Here are my suggestions: 1.- Try Ellis Island's website www.ellisisland.org. Even though this was the main hub for Italians to the US, a lot of of the passangers had final destinations in South America. I found my great great grand uncle's record a...

The consulate replied this morning. Yes I have to apply to the Miami consulate and they resume scheduling appointments in June of this year.

Thanks,

Daniel

Yes, that is what I am reading. As you said I have to get certified ones with apostilles. My family is still missing some birth certificates so I am in no rush. I have plenty of time and patience to learn and read about the process.

Thanks again for all your help!

-Daniel

Understood. Thanks mler!!

In that case I will have to tell my family to make copies of all the stuff they have and send it to me.

In the mean time I will start reading on the application process for the Miami consulate. Any suggestions on material to read?

Thanks

-Daniel

Thanks for the help. I think the only people that would really know are the consulates itself. The miami consulate has jurisdiction in the state I live. I will contact them and let you all know.

Just of out curiosity, how is the wait at the Miami consulate??


-Daniel

Ok. I do not have a green card. I have a working visa. Does anyone know if the statement of mler applies to people like myself that have a visa?

-Thanks,

Daniel

I have a working visa. I am currently living and working in the US.

For the dual citizenship,do I have to apply in my native country or do I apply here in the US???

Thanks,

-Daniel

Ok. that is definitely worth a try. I don't speak Italian, but I have seen the site that was previously mentioned in this thread so that I can request it in Italian.

How responsive is the comune?
I am assuming that will have a cost. How much would that be?
Is email ok?


Thanks,
-Daniel

Quick Update: Ordered 3 Microfilms from FHC. Birth records of the Napoli Stato Civile The years covered are 1862-1865. If you are in the Atlanta area please contact me so that you can take advantage of them being here when they arrive in like 2-3 weeks. Also contacted CEMLA ( www.cemla.com ) They do...

Excellent! I appreciate the reply. I'm still going to the FHC to try to confirm my great great grandfather's birth location. If it matches what I just found on his brother, then I can go ahead a request the birth certicates I need. Who do you people recommend the most for that? www.mytalianfamily.co...

Out of curiosity I checked Ellis Island's website. I was happy that I did find a match. Even though my family never resided in the U.S. They did travel and were transit passengers in New York! I found information on my great great grandfather's younger brother. He traveled 3 times :) Here is informa...

My local FHC in Atlanta is nearby. I will go visit it this upcoming week.

I forgot to mention that the record the FHC has on microfilm is up to 1865.

How can I look at records of people between 1865 and maybe 1920?

Thanks.

-Daniel

they didn't emigrate to the USA.

They went to Paraguay. My uncle recently found a record of a ticket and they came to Paraguay in 1919, not sure if that is the first visit.

Ok, I don't speak Italian I may have to ask someone I know to write it for me.

Thanks!!

-Daniel

Great! Thanks for the reply. The first link will be of great use. I will contact the FHC and see if they can help me. The second link seems to be taking me to a "not found" page. I am going to write an email to Naples as well. I am assuming English is not a problem for them. Yes, from what...

I need some help. I am trying to verify if my great great grandfather's and his son's birth certificate are available from Naples. Any information on my great great grandfather's wife would also be of great help Fortunately, I do have a reasonable amount of information that my family has gathered ov...
