Jure Sanguinis - Research for Spouse

[mler]

You can ask Cook County for a letter stating that they have no record of a naturalization. The declaration is a pre-naturalization record, not a naturalization record.

They automatically send the records to the comune of the Italian ancestor from whom citizenship was derived. That way, the comune simply adds to existing family records.

Ah, interesting to know. I thought I read somewhere that you could suggest a commune. Oh well.

Hello!

I am also in this long process, getting all my papers together and struggling with giving up from time to time! It's nice to see how much progress you guys have made...gives me hope!

Do you or anyone on this thread know where to get these papers?

-Naturalization Record of my GGF: He was naturalized but I can't understand whether it was a federal, state or city naturalization and therefore I haven"t been able to request it. I DO have a photocopy of it and therefore know the number and everything! That seems promising but still I know that I need a certified and apostilled copy. I wish they would just accept the photocopy that I have and could match that somehow and apostille it!

-GGF and GGM's Marriage certificate: I know that they were married in NYC but no idea where I could request for their marriage certificate. Have tried searching to no avail.

-GF and GM's birth certificates: They were born in NYC. I have my GF's original birth certificate and just need to get it apostilled. I was told that just an apostilled copy of my GM's birth certificate should be enough. I do have a paper about her birth that shows her birthdate and stuff, so that is helpful. I am just wondering where in NYC I could request her birth certificate stuff? The NYC county office?

-GF and GM's wedding certificate. Again, where could I get this apostilled? The county of NY?

-Lastly, I need to get my GGM's birth certificate from Sicilia. I already went to get my GGF's, back when I didnt know that the GGM's would also be needed. Do you know of any website links to get this from or do I need to go back to Italy? I saw one website but couldn't tell if it was legit!
Here it is:

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU in advance if anyone knows any answers to these questions, I greatly appreciate the help! I can see why people pay for this to be done for them as this search is EXHAUSTING! grazie ancora!

Greetings! I'm looking forward to learning a lot from all of you!

My wife and I were doing some research on her family history, and discovered a lot of fascinating things she never knew. I won't go into all the details, but we found out that she might be eligible for Italian citizenship via jure sanguinis. But I wanted to get some advice from you folks first.

Here are the details as we know them…

My wife was born in Chicago in 1969. Her father was born in Chicago in 1937. Both of his parents were from Italy, his father (Mario) from Sicily (we believe paris airports transfers Caltanissetta) and his mother (Antoinetta) from Foggia. We can't find any information via immigration or census records for Mario, and the only information we can find for Antoinetta is from the 1940 U.S. Census, after my wife's father was born, which indicates she was an "alien" in the United States, and not a naturalized citizen.

Mario and Antoinetta met and married in Chicago sometime around 1930. (We're still looking for documentation on this.)

Based on this (understandably limited) information, does she have any standing to apply for citizenship under jure sanguinis?


Thanks!

Hello, nice to know you
