JOTS,

OK, here's what happened. I am in Colorado and the former "consulate" here has become an independent that can be hired to "advise" on these matters. So I went to her (you can find out who if you Google) and was told I needed the USCIS version of the naturalization papers. Not to go into ...

Actually, I already have a copy of my Grandfather's naturalization papers from NARA, but I was told that isn't enough, that I needed one from the government. I do not see any "certificate number" on that one though.

He was born in the USA, his parents (my grandparents) were born in Italy (I have both of their death certificates ...

Thank you all. This has been very helpful.

Hello,

I think I have collected most of what is needed to start this process. A couple of questions; Under "Additional Requirements for All Categories" it's says I need a copy my wife's birth certificate. In this instance I do not see a requirement for it to be in "certified copy". Maybe I am ...

Thanks so much!

First time here. I need to find my Grandfather's birth certificate. The info I have is that he was born in Cerreto Sannita April 11, 1897. This seems to be confirmed by the passenger records of the ship on which he arrived, his naturalization papers and one relative.
