Sam- no email address for Buccheri. I do not know a Pete Messina, however, never know? Funny my great grandparents also immigrated to Lawrence, MA and lived on Common Street in 1909 where they were then married. Small world, maybe they knew of each other?

As for the communication, I had to send ...

Fyi: Sebastiana was born MAY 3, 1904. She married in Buccheri on March 17, 1920 and immigrated to Boston, MA in 1967 where she took on US citizenship through the Italian Consulate in Boston.

My great gma is Maria Maddalena Disanto, her siblings:

Hello you should email me at jpmessina44 at yahoo dot com! I obtained me citizenship through Newark in 2010 and yes that is definitely my great grandmother....I actually have all birth records of the entire family, including dates of death, who immigrated to the US, marriage records, etc. I can def ...

I did receive a similiar document that is handwritten with the official stamp and signature.

But I also got 3 other documents, on Comune letterhead with the same signature and stamp...the other docs were:

1. Certificato di Cittadinanza (A.I.R.E)
2. "" " ATTO N. 12 PARTE 2 Serie B (Part 2)
3 ...

Truly amazing to think about it, and the timing for this to line up perfectly, like it did.

Surprisingly enough, from start to finish was 8 months....I looking at EllisIsland.org and officially started this process on October 26, 2010.

Newark also requires to review my US Passport before giving me my Italian one....

^ johnny's spot on....good luck with it. Prob best to try and wait out a move until after. If its dire that you have to move, going to be tough because of the proof of residence requirements.

Newark required me to get my Italian documents back from the Comune before making the appointment to get my passport. This was done in April, and my appointment was just today.

45-60 minutes later, I walked out with my Italian passport!

best of luck to you! I just got my passport today from the Newark Consulate, so the good luck vibes are on our side!!

Hello everybody, got my Italian passport today, soooooo excited.

Last time I was in the consulate was back late April, where I was filling out my AIRE form and being officially recognized...since then I had ordered my paperwork (birth certificate, letter of recognition with AIRE, and all other ...

Sorry super super late on this! Yes, I had a 35 day wait for Newark to go in and get myh passport. My appointment is for June 13th, 2011 (was recognized/accepted in March)....part of that time was waiting for my comune to send me my Italian Birth records back....I think I got them around late April ...

Meant 3.5 X 4.5 cm (not inch)!

I've heard that the Newark Consulate has a machine but sometimes doesn't work, so i'd rather be prepared and bring my own with me. Where did everybody else get theirs done? Standard US Photos are 2X2 but it seems like EU is 3.5X4.5?

Any recommendations I would greatly appreciate it!!

I don't know if this helps but I sent out, via snail mail, to Catania, Sicily requesting my birth record about two weeks ago and got it back yesterday morning. I think it is worth a shot to send the letter and see what happens.
