Hello, I have a friend who recently expressed interest in pursuing citizenship. He has an Italian born Grandfather, however IMO I believe the line is broke due to the minor issue, but wanted to double check and get 2nd opinions.
Here is what I know...

GGF b. 1886 in Italy
- emigrated 1917 to U.S ...

Hello, a relative sent me this Capo Familia sheet, i've never seen one before. Can someone tell me about it? Was it done by a family member or the Stato Civile? I can make out a lot of it but not all, unfortunately this is the only copy I was sent and it's low quality. For background, the Father ...

You're welcome, Rossonero!
I just want to point out that you can't contest anything, even if you wanted, because Italian law provides for what is called "usucapione": if you possess a real estate for more than 20 years with no contract and no request of payment by the owner, it becomes yours ...

Hi,
Vincenzo Zinno was the "procuratore". That means that he had a proxy from your GGF and his brother to sell their properties in Italy, so, they were not present when the document was signed.
So many years have gone, so all that was done can't be changed, but that sheet of paper would have no ...

The 100 L ‘stamp paper’ (Carta da bollo) was used in the years around 1955.

I wonder if it could have been around 1949, I have departure manifest showing my GGF ...

I recently received this document from a stranger in Italy whose grandfather (or GGF) purchased the home of my Great Grandfather and his brother in our ancestral village, the frazione of Tuorocasale in the comune of Marzano Appio, Caserta. In this document, the buyer is Vincenzo ...

If you still have problems translating it let us know.

Great thank you!

Thanks! I’m also looking for some translation help in case I’m missing some important information.

Attached is the link to a birth record for Giacomo Bengala, who was a foundling. I got a lot of it but being all in cursive poses some problems and can't make all of it. I got the date of the record, date of birth, and the woman present, "Giuspeppa Bagnara", and obviously the name of the child, but ...

Thank you for the images and information.

You have certainly done your research!

My thoughts...
It would be strange for Carmela and her children to travel to USA in 1896 unless her husband traveled there before her. - So looking at the manifest you posted for Alfonso in 1902 - he states that he ...

They stay in the outbox until I read them... :-)

Sorry, I was searching in Maddaloni.

Thank you for the docs. It will take me some time to review.

EDIT TO ADD:

The documents you provided were all generated in the USA. Since no birth act/certificate is necessary for verification of dates, etc ...
