Re: Name discrepancies & 7 year rule questions

There is both a 7 year rule and a 5 year rule, each referring to a different situation. The 7 year rule states that the Intent to Naturalize is only valid for 7 reas from the date of filing. The 5 year rule refers to the length of time the alien has continuously resided in the United Stes.

Re: marriage license date from ancestry.com

Be mindful that this is an index record of the application for a marriage license. The license would have been valid for 60 days from date of issue and could be used anywhere in New York State.

Re: What happened to my great-great aunt??

You wrote, "Costanza Savelloni, who travelled to the US with him." Do you have any document that shows she actually traveled to the US. I could not find one, either alone or with Adolfo.

Adolfo's first trip to the US was in November 1920 from LeHavre to New York via Quebec. He was described as ...

Re: Certificate of Naturalization doesn't match my records


Bobny, dates and locations are different, but that mirrors the experience of my gf and is a common scenario.


I don't understand your point.

I am attempting to solve the OPs issue of inconsistent dates. He was not aware of Francesco's arrival in the US prior to 1931. The timeline solves that ...

Re: Certificate of Naturalization doesn't match my records

I don't understand the source of all this confusion. Unless I have an entirely different family, here is a timeline of Francesco's travels readily obtained from Ancestry.com

24 Oct 1920 - Boards SS Belevedere in Palermo in the company of his sister Brigida and nephew Giovanni Portoghese.

Re: Certificate of Naturalization doesn't match my records


This is where I am confused. So I am assuming the certificate is just a petition for his naturalization and not the actual date he was naturalized in New York?



No, the certificate is THE certificate; it is not the petition. Also, the petition, under most circumstances, cannot be filed until ...

Re: US citizen/Italian citizen atti di matrimonio question

Since the marriage was performed prior to the enactment of the Cable Act which became effective on September 22, 1922, Maria acquired derivative US citizenship simultaneously with her marriage. For women in her situation, the only proof of citizenship was the combination of the husband's ...

Re: Private Family Trees

Asking permission to root around in a stranger's private tree is a fool's errand.

As a 20+ year paid member of ancestry with a private tree, I would suggest a slightly different approach. Your chances of getting an invitation to access a private tree is very slim; even getting a response from the ...

Re: Birth record for Vito Gaetano Castellano - Positano

Thank you very, very much. I am having trouble reading the ages for the parents. Any help would be appreciated.

Also, the original difficulty I had was apparently not translating correctly Vito's age on his marriage act. What I read as 25 years old, you correctly concluded that he hadn't yet ...

Can anyone find that record?
You certainly can. You have the cert #, the borough and the date of death. That is all you need to order a copy from the Municipal Archives.
