Hey Carmine!
My line was Grandfather -
MOTHER - Me ... so my mom's birth certificate was essential. But they also took my fathers. (And, in theory, he isn't in my direct line.)
I think it was more the fact that I
HAD all of the certificates.
I believe when asking for my grandmother's birth certificate Raffaella - might have said something along the lines of "
Were you able to find it?" or "
Do you have it?" I did - and handed it over -
but, I got the feeling that if I DIDN'T have it - it would not have been a deal breaker.
I did also have my grandmother's death certificate - but I was not asked for it.
As I've mentioned - I am an uber type A personality... I definitely went in with more documentation than I think was strictly needed. For example, I had my mom's Form 2 not only notarized - but
Apostilled as well.
I also had each County Clerk letter and my moms
Affidavit before Notary Apostilled - not sure I needed to - but couldn't help it!
