Carmine, thank you you are always so helpful.

I need to find the military records of gggf. he was born in misilmeri and, i believe, served in 1918. is there somewhere that i can write for that and is there any letter template that i can use.

if i need to write to the commune there...can anyone provide the address..

thanks

i have a document with the marriage record of Domenico Marvagna and Nunzia Felice but i cant make out what her parents names are. Can someone help decipher what it says after her name...

i need help. i need to contact the commune in Lercare for the birth certificate of Domenico Marvagna 12/25/1879,Felice Nunzia 2/8/1884 and their marriage certificate from September of 1902. the information of the marriage cert is contained in the passport application on prior posts. Where can i ...

Update and please help. The consulate looked over my son's paperwork and say that dual citizenship can be granted based on the cancellation of his gggf's naturalization. The problem is that they now want additional information. The birth and marriage certificates of the great great grandparents from ...

thank you all for your help and comments. i have posted to expat and italiangenealogy.com and have received many response. the one common thread is that no one is exactly sure. but i do appreciate the time people have taken to chime in.

it is frustrating to say the least and my son is going to ...

They are only allowed to have4 players on the team with sport visas and thy had already given them to players that are nit of Italian descent. He can get a visa to go over there (i would guess)but he cannot be on the team without his citizenship. So if it were to take a while it would not work.....

Update: i am still waiting for the official naturalization paperwork from MO but the USCIS did give me the documentation on what they found. A Vice Consul (through a friend) told me to send all of the paperwork that i had. I sent everything inclusive of the Parma baseball contract. I was able to ...

Yea that is what I figured too. I was just hoping that if they saw the gggf lost his naturalization in 1938 it would be good enough. If for some reason they gave the ggf derivative citizenship retroactively in 1941 I have a different fight. The strange thing would be if the ggf requested a ...

some advice. The consulate might be willing to look over the paperwork that i have thus far (through a friend) although i am missing the record from USCIS for my sons great grandfather, should i send along the naturalization and cancellation for his great great grandfather...if they are willing to ...

ok but if there was an intervening petiion wouldnt that be attached to all of the naturalization papers i found? do you think i would need to go to court with all of this if the derivative was somehow granted and shouldnt have been or will the consulate accept the paperwork that i have....nothing is ...

so, i found out that the C-file is in MO so it will take some time. hopefully not too long. once i get that, if granted retroactively, i guess i might have a fight on my hands to see if the cancellation of the gggf naturalization meant that the ggf should or could not have gotten a derivative one ...

is there any way of checking voting records in Italy for either Domeico Marvagna or Sebastiano Marvagna....

Thanks...you have been so very helpful...I am going to request that information tomorrow. Maybe that will provide an answer.

I would guess that he did only because he obtained a us passport and a social security #
