Has anyone used an online service to help with the process of applying for your dual citizenship? There seems to be a few, but are all expensive. I guess it's an expensive endeavor not matter what you do! Anyway, it's a bit daunting and I thought it would be good to go through a company that knows ...

Woo hoo!! Thanks! I'm definitely going to go for it. I'm also beginning to learn Italian. I wish my grandmother had taught me! Or even my mom. Such a beautiful language.

Hi,

Does anyone know if the Declaration of Intent affects my ability to apply for Italian citizenship? I'm not sure if I should start the process! Thanks!

So by 1930, he was Naturalized. My mom was born in 1926. I have a feeling I don't qualify!

I know even less about my father's side. My grandfather's name was Felice Simolo and my grandmother was Vincenzina. No idea about her maiden name! This is all so fascinating though. I should have done this ...

Wow! Thanks you guys! That's amazing. Constantino and Louisa are my mom's parents. Iris is my mother. Not the first Iris. That was her sister who died as a child. She was named after her. I'm still confused as to how to find out if when they became American citizens! Did that happen when the came ...

I've read about this, and don't know if I qualify. I'm not sure when or if my grandparents became US citizens! My cousin is tracing our roots, but has nothing that specific yet. How could I find this out?
