Re: Dual Citizenship laws still the same?


But your ggm was also Italian, they married in Italy and came together to the US?


I did find a lawyer, he gave me all the details. I just wanted to check if there has been any changes to the law.

And yes they married in Italy. Ggf came first to the US, then came back to Italy for her and ...

Re: Certificate of Naturalization doesn't match my records


I don't understand the source of all this confusion. Unless I have an entirely different family, here is a timeline of Francesco's travels readily obtained from Ancestry.com

Dual Citizenship laws still the same?

Long story short, I started my dual citizenship process two years ago, going through my ggf/ggm. My ggf was naturalized in 1931 before my gf was born in 1932, but my ggm was not naturalized until 1960 (waiting to obtain A-file from uscis to confirm). So I was told I COULD NOT go through my consulate ...

Re: How to obtain birth and marriage from New York?


I ordered a marriage certificate recently from NYC and I think it took about 5-6 weeks.

I don't know about the timeframe for NYC birth certificates. Prior to Covid, I would always walk in and I would have a birth certificate in less than 20 minutes.


I got the marriage certificate in about that ...

Re: How to obtain birth and marriage from New York?

Anybody know a timeframe on getting these? It's been over a month since I requested marriage and birth and haven't heard back. I assume NYC has more of delay than NYS.

Re: How to obtain birth and marriage from New York?



Do I need letters of exemplification for all my birth certificates for 1948 case? They didn't send me one when I requested mine.


The New York County Clerk won't authenticate the birth certificate without the letter of exemplification. And without the County Clerk's authentication, you can't ...

Re: How to obtain birth and marriage from New York?



Is it recommended to use vitalchek for my birth cert?


For NYC I wouldn't recommend it because I'm not sure that it will come with the Letter of Exemplification that is required by the county clerk for authentication. I'm not 100% certain though...I used to always go to the office in-person in ...

Re: How to obtain birth and marriage from New York?



What about marriage? I need both for my grandfather and father, both in New York. Can anybody point in the right direction? Thanks.


In NYC, if the marriage took place more than 50 years ago, anyone can request it. Go to the NYC city clerk website.
