I'm sending out my naturalization records request using the FOIA form; however there's three different addresses given on it, and I think other people have mentioned several other addresses too.

Which one is the right one for naturalization? There are two for MO and one for WA.

I am so confused ...

I got my great grandfather's death certificate from the NYC department of health in about 3 to 4 weeks, but another member on the board had managed to find the exact certificate number for me, which I'm sure sped up the process.

I also just got one of the birth certificates I needed from Italy ...

Thanks, I tried the NARA online ordering system and got an email that they couldn't process the request. I couldn't really figure out if that meant they needed more info or just couldn't find anything. I guess historical is next.

No such luck. The ...

Wow, that's great. Thanks so much. Where'd you find that info at?

Thanks, that might be it. But he also might have died when he was younger. How did you find that?

This is all becoming more difficult than I thought it would. I'm at a bit of a standstill on trying to obtain a death certificate for my great grandfather because they request parent names and social security number (which I don't know if he ever had).

This is all the info I've been able to gather ...

Fortunately, grandpappy was born in America, therefore maintaining both of his citizenships.

My main dilemma is paperwork. Do I have to get a statement of "no records?" Or can I just get a certified copy of the census? I'm 99 percent positive that he was never naturalized because at the time of ...

Hey everyone,

First off, this is such a great forum with so many useful tips!

I'm going all the way back to my Great Grandfather. I don't forsee any problems in getting birth and marriage certificates from Italy; however, I found a 1930 census that shows he was still not naturalized (at the time ...
