Re: Question about required documents

As I said in my earlier post, Ireland offers citizenship jure sanguinis just as Italy does; the major difference being that Italy allows you to go back an unlimited number of generations to find an Italian citizen ascendant, whereas Ireland limits you to your grandparents.

Re: 'storico' letter

Actually, who I'm stuck on is Celestino Ferlazzo. Ernesto Ferlazzo is his son, he lost his citizenship and remained in Italy, fathered an illegitimate son we can't find, and died. Not worried about Ernesto. The other respondent mistakenly assumed that's what I was looking for. It's not what I was l...

Re: Dual citizenship - is it possible?

Roslyn, I suggest you begin a new thread with an appropriate subject ("Regaining citizenship through military service" perhaps?) and include everything you know about the details of the case. When did your father leave Italy? In what country and when did he naturalize? When/why did he retu...

Re: 'storico' letter

I think they are saying that the Ferlazzo family roots appear to have been in Comune di Taormina and they suggest you continue your research with that village (http://en.comuni-italiani.it/083/097/).
