Re: Acquiring certified copies for great grandparents

I had no problem with getting a NJ birth and marriage cert for my wife. What year did they get married?

On my wife's GPs certificate it was indexed incorrectly so it took a long time to find. But luckily the information on the certificate was correct.

Wife's Documentation

Well almost done with acquiring all my docs for my citizen application. I have some name change issues that i'll need to work out, but I think I'm in good shape. Anyway, my original plan was to gain citizenship and then get my wife's through me. It seems faster and less hassle. Since the change in l...

Re: Acquiring certified copies for great grandparents

No problem ordering a death cert for dual citizenship through PA vital records. I also asked about ordering a birth certificate and they said as long as you have all the correct information to locate the record it shouldn't be an issue. I could have picked up the birth certs tomorrow or have them ma...

Re: Very Surprising Results

As ancestry does updates I’m shifting all over the place. After receiving and email about an update today I decided to take a look. It now says 42% Irish, 24% Italian, 23% French and then small percentages from virtually every other country in Western Europe. This has changed with every ancestry upd...

My appointment is September 2019 and was wondering if anyone had luck with getting an earlier, cancelled, appointment at the Philadelphia consulate? Also, I noticed my reservation says “To be confirmed”. Do I need...

Re: Name change petition

I verified it is possible, but with a court order. He changed his name after his marriage to my grandmother, probably her idea 😐. There are no living relatives.

Name change petition

I’m doing well gathering all the documents for my citizenship application. As I mentioned before my grandfather (decreased) decided to change his name after his marriage which causes me to need a court order to correct them. I have supporting documentation (fathers/uncles birth certificates, death c...

Re: Passport & Green Card?

His death certificate doesn't state a Nationality. Census info I've found thus far is riddled with errors or is missing. My grandfather was born in 1907, here is the problem with the census data i found: 1900 - Found the Family with given names and surnames switched. GG Parents and Great Uncle info ...
