Much has been written on this board and others about the use of services such as the one you mention. I think it fair to say that those of us who have been through this process mostly feel that it is entirely practical to do so on your own using nothing more than the free guidance you can get at places such as right here (I'd be happy to provide links to other boards as well). Why pay a service $150+ to obtain a document from Italy when you can most probably obtain the same document for nothing more than the cost of a postage stamp?oscar344 wrote:What do you think of this sight is this the right and legitimate way to go about it and can you really get citizenship if your maternal great grandfather was an Italy at the time of his birth?? the site is:

The greatest potential difficulty here is the possibility that your great-great-grandfather became a naturalized US citizen while your great-grandfather was still a minor child. If so, your great-grandfather would have automatically naturalized along with his father, thus ending the Italian line.oscar344 wrote:1. The line of my ancestry is Great-Grandfather -> Grandfather -> Mother -> me
2. My great Grandfather was born in Italy ( i believe Sicily) around 1910 he moved to the US in when he was approximately 2 years old. Then my grandfather was born in the US in 1931 then my mother in 1960 and me in 1989
3. i do not know where can I find this?
4. Yes, his children and himself and there grand children lived in New Jersey up until about 20 years ago ( at which time they dispersed around the country)
5. I lived in PA and the closest one to my location is in Philadelphia
thanks for the help
Hi, Julie.campabasso wrote:Hi:
I am confused. My paternal greatgrandfather was born in Italy and came to the US in 1885.
Am I am to claim Italian citizenship based on this alone or is claim void if he became a US citizen.
