I have a rush job.

I need some documents translated and notarized by Monday for my Italian Citizenship appointment. (I know, way to wait until the last minute! :oops: )

Thanks Diane! I will take a look at this.

Jessica-
This run down is AMAZING. Thank you so much. There is little information out there to help a person out.
I have one follow up question: they let you change the birth record? I was told that birth records can not be amended in Massachusetts.
I have to change the first name of my grandfather ...

Hi there,
Does anybody have any good sources for Ukraine genealogy?

I have an ancestor that was a German engineer...imported to Russia during Stalin's 5 year plan that began in 1928 (developing big public works). Specifically looking at Zaporizhia area- he helped build the Dneiper River Dam.

Thanks all!

We have consulted with an Italian translator that does a lot of this kind of work with the Boston Italian Consulate. Just for anyone else who may search for this information later:

So I looked him up ...

At Boston City Hall the woman who gave me the birth record said I would have to file ...

That's incredible sleuthing. Thank you so much. So it looks as if they were married in the USA... that is interesting news. I assumed they were married in Italy.

I am going to Revere to get copies of these records. My mother-in-law will get a big kick out of this.

Thanks again.

Or Irmelinda, or Melinda, or Malenda... the variations abound.

DeAngelis is her married name, "Ginoff" "Ginoffi" or "Gioffi" is her maiden name. Born around 1885 somewhere in Italy.

according to a census she came here in 1907. However, her first born son is listed as a Massachusetts native, born ...

Hey there-

So I have pulled together documents for the most direct line for Jure Sanguinis thru my father-grandfather-greatgrandfather.

I have just found a problem however with the first name of my grandfather. On his birth certificate he was listed as "Giovaninno Antonio Capobianco" however ...
