What records are available from the County Clerk, in researching my genealogy, "my family tree"?
The County Clerk has state Census records (1825 to 1925), naturalization records (1814 to 1972), marriage records (1908 to 1935), property deeds and mortgages (1811-present), and tax assessment records (1854 to 1934). Birth, marriage and death records, also known as vital records, are available from the Town or City Clerk where the event occurred. In New York State, vital records were first kept starting in 1881.
USCIS can take several months for each step. Hopefully you will get quick results from NARA or the county clerk's office.Afonti wrote:Wow!! You have no idea how much I appreciate the replies and guidance as to where to look. On Feb 4th I did request and index search with USCIS. Any idea how long that takes?
No, absolutely not. Instead, you would have to go on the assumption that he did not, in fact, naturalize regardless of what the one census indicates. You would need various letters of "No Record Found" from the USCIS, NARA, state and county court archives as proof of your claim that GGF never gave up his Italian citizenship.If nothing does exist, then would the consulate go by the census date of 1930 as the naturalization date when I apply for dual citizenship?
Only if your GF was born on or after January 1, 1948. Prior to that date, Italian citizenship was passed only by the father, so GF could not have inherited citizenship from his mother.Also I am going F to GF to GGF. But is it possible to go F to GF to GGM to GGGF?
You're welcome!Thanks
