Re: Searching for Deliso Ancestors

Bingo! Now if we can just figure out Angelina's maiden name for sure and her origin, we think it is Sicily and we think her surname is Presti as mentioned before, perhaps it's really Lo Presti or Lo Presto. We also are trying to find the ship manifest and city of origin for for the John Delilo born ...

Re: How to know when your citizenship has been approved by I

Today I received the Italian birth registration from Frosinone, after two letters (first sent in Nov 2010, second in Feb 2011). The birth registration is required by the Houston consulate in order to process a passport. Now I begin what I hope will be the final step in acquiring a passport, but I f...

Re: How to know when your citizenship has been approved by I

I'm sorry to read this. Thank you for sharing it, though. It's a good reminder for all of us not to celebrate too much just because the consulate portion goes smoothly. I hope Houston will help you resolve the issue with Bagheria and demonstrate that they did indeed send all the documents. Amos :D ...

Re: How to know when your citizenship has been approved by I

Hey, John, I wanted to say thanks for this letter translation! I plan to use it when writing Frosinone (FR) to ask for my birth certificate as well. I was approved by Houston two weeks ago and was told the same thing, to wait a few months until the commune had the documents. I was curious how your ...

Of course you have to give them specific information. I have written many comunes for this and Sambuca was the only ...
