Please Help - Naturalization Question

[SLopatin]

Hello. I am trying to figure out if I qualify for Italian Citizenship and am having a hard time determining this.

My maternal grandfather was born in Italy in 1906. I'm not sure exactly when he came to the US, but he had my mother in the US in 1946. It looks like the only way I will qualify for citizenship is if he didn't become naturalized before she was born. How do I find out if he was naturalized and when?

My maternal great-grandparents were also born in Italy. They had my maternal grandmother in the US in 1908. I still don't think this does anything for me. Please help!!!

Check www.ancestry.com or post your information, and perhaps someone can help you locate his naturalization date.

Try this web site it is to the Italian consulate in New York they have a link that you fill out a questionair and it tells you if you qualify. If your grandparents lived in New york e-mail me and I will send you an e-mail address for the archives that hold the naturalization paper in the North east http://www.consnewyork.esteri.it/NR/exe ... =Published
